IDENTIFICATION AND CLASSIFICATION OF PLANT LEAF
DISEASES
ABSTRACT
India is an agricultural based country where approx 70% of population depend on agriculture.
Now days the plant disease detection is very important because agriculture is the backbone of the
county like India. We get various raw materials from agriculture and especially crops, which
serve as a staple food for people. But the crops and plantations get destroyed mainly due to two
major reasons, first reason is destruction by natural calamities such as flood, earthquake,
drought, famine, etc. and second reason is the destruction by the pathogens such as viral ,
bacterial and fungal. Farmer is not aware what type of disease plant having and how to prevent
them from these diseases. To overcome from these we are going to develop a technique in which we can
able to detect plant disease using image processing technique.
In this project we are going to process our input image by using computer software, the
image will be collected from the farmer. Disease detection involves the steps like taking picture
of affected area for image acquisition, image pre-processing, image segmentation, feature
extraction and classification. The images are threshold to particular values after that detected
image threshold are masked over the original image .The image is clustered based on the features
using k-means clustering, GLCM algorithm would generate the features from the images.

EXISTING SYSTEM
The existing method uses Radial Basis Function Neural Network (RBFNN) that is trained
with the help of Bacterial Foraging Optimization (BFO), to find the affected region via different
diseases present on plant leaves. For assigning optimal weight to Radial Basis Function Neural
Network (RBFNN) we use Bacterial foraging optimization (BFO) that the network to identify
and classify the regions infected of different diseases on the plant leafs. The classification of the
object is done by minimizing the sum of the square of the distance between the object and the
corresponding cluster. This classification method classifies each pixel as a unique gray level and
MATLAB AGRIBUISNESS MANAGEMENT

classifies it into different classes; the different classes are actually used to represent a type of leaf
i.e. normal one or diseased one.

DISADVANTAGES
 Diseases are predicted by using long process of testing
 Approximate prediction of green house leaf disease is difficult process

PROPOSED SYSTEM
Image acquisition is the first method of digital image processing and it is described as
capturing the image through digital camera or from the samples that are stored in database for
further MATLAB operations. The main purpose of image pre-processing is to improve the
quality of an image containing unwanted distortions or to enhance some image features for
further processing. This method includes various techniques such as changing image size,
filtering of noise, image conversion, enhancing image. K-means clustering method partitions the
images into clusters in such a way that at least one part of cluster contains an image with major
area of affected part. GLCM has been used extensively in the field of image processing. It has
been for texture analysis in gray scale as well as color texture recognition. Clustering value of a
pixel captures the structure of local brightness variations in atmosphere and SVM Classifier is
used to classify the result.

ADVANTAGES
 Best suited for different illuminant condition
 The captured leaf image parameters were compared with the parameters of healthy leaf
and disease was detected. According to disease pesticide control was done.
