Plant Leaf Disease Detection Using Transfer Learning Approach

Plant diseases have a huge impact on agricultural productivity and global food security. Rapid Identification and timely control of these diseases are crucial in order to reduce yield loss. During recent years deep learning techniques have demonstrated very promising results with regard to automating the detection of plants diseases from leaf images. Transfer learning, one of the popular approaches of deep learning, has been extensively employed to leverage large scale pre trained models and adapt them to new tasks with limited data. This paper presents a study on the application of transfer learning in the detection of plant leaf conditions diseases. A transfer learning approach is proposed where a pre trained convolutional neural. The purpose of this is fine-tuning a CNN model on plant-leaf images for the classification of various diseases.
