Abstract:
India, the country where the main source of income is from agriculture.
Farmers grow a variety of crops based on their requirement. Since the plants
su er from the disease, the production of crop decreases due to infections
caused by several types of diseases on its leaf, fruit, and stem. Leaf diseases
are mainly caused by bacteria, fungi, virus etc. Diseases are often di cult
to control. Diagnosis of the disease should be done accurately and proper
actions should be taken at the appropriate time. Image Processing is the
trending technique in detection and classi cation of plant leaf disease. This
work describes how to automatically detect leaf diseases. The given system
will provide a fast, spontaneous, precise and very economical method in
detecting and classifying leaf diseases. This paper is envisioned to assist in
the detecting and classifying leaf diseases using Multiclass SVM classi cation
technique. First, the a ected region is discovered using segmentation by K-
means clustering, then features (color and texture) are extracted. Lastly,
classi cation technique is applied in detecting the type of leaf disease.
Keywords: Image Processing, Leaf diseases detection, K-means clustering,
feature extraction, Multiclass SVM Classi cation.
