Abstrakt: The adoption of automated methods for the identification and assessment of tomato-related disorders is highly sought-after in the agriculture sector. Using this technology is crucial for reducing wasteful spending, increasing the efficiency of treatments, and ultimately growing more resilient crops by reducing losses in agricultural output and maximising the effectiveness of these processes. An automated method has been suggested for accurately identifying and classifying diseases using a single photograph. The described method for disease detection in tomato plants makes use of a computer vision-based technique. Image processing, ML, and deep learning are just a few of the methods that this strategy uses. The goal of this approach is to prevent tomato crops from being damaged by various illnesses by reducing the need of conventional procedures. Bacterial spot, early blight, late blight, leaf mould, spider mites, target spot, spotted spider mite, mosaic virus, and yellow leaf curl are all examples of these illnesses. The following ten diseases frequently strike tomato crops in India. By utilising picture segmentation in combination with the Enhanced OPTICS algorithm (EOPTICSA), the affected area of the tomato plant may be precisely detected and defined after image pre-processing procedures have been used. It may be necessary to look for certain visual signs in order to diagnose the previously mentioned illnesses. The primary goal of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of the EOPTICSA method for detecting diseases in plant leaves. To eliminate the geometric features associated with colour, texture, and leaf arrangement in the provided plant pictures, image segmentation and edge detection methods are employed. Using these methods allows us to achieve our goal. Various efficacy measures are used to assess and provide a technique recommendation. This research shows that when performance metrics are used to implement these strategies, the suggested strategy outperforms the current methods in terms of accuracy, precision, and F1-score. The process of detecting sickness involves several consecutive steps. Capturing images, segmenting them, detecting edges, and determining the infection's severity are all steps in this process. To accomplish the goal of recognising and categorising different types of diseases that might impact tomato plants, the method of transfer learning is employed. As soon as the problem is identified, it is recommended to take proactive measures to help individuals and organisations involved in agriculture address the effects of these disorders using appropriate measures.
