Image Based Tomato Leaf Disease Detection

Abstract

Leaf diseases are the major problem in agricultural sector, which affects crop production as well as economic profit. Early detection of diseases using deep learning could avoid such a disaster. Currently, Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) is a class of deep learning which is widely used for the image classification task. We have performed experiments with the CNN architecture for detecting disease in tomato leaves. We trained a deep convolutional neural network using PlantVillage dataset of 14,903 images of diseased and healthy plant leaves, to identify the type of leaves. The trained model achieves test accuracy of 99.25%. � 2019 IEEE.
