Crop Disease Prediction Using Image Processing
Abstract: For any country in the world, its livelihood depends on agriculture. However, crop diseases affect the production and food supply of any country because we are unable to detect crop diseases. This paper presents a machine learning CNN (convolutional neural network) model, which uses images of crops to detect diseases. This model detects the diseases in the early stage and provides us with a solution to the crop diseases. It …
