Crop Disease Detection
Crop Disease Detection
AI-Based Plant Disease Identification Using Computer Vision
Problem Statement
Farmers often struggle to identify crop diseases at an early stage due to lack of expertise and delayed diagnosis. This results in reduced yield, increased pesticide usage, and financial loss.
Solution Overview
The Crop Disease Detection system uses computer vision and deep learning models to analyze images of crop leaves and accurately detect diseases. The system provides disease name, confidence score, and preventive recommendations to support timely intervention.
