Identification of plant disease is very important to prevent the loss and keep the harvest healthy. Determination of plant disease via visual monitoring is difficult and time consuming. In this paper, we described a method of detection and classification of plant disease using image processing and machine learning techniques. We used standard images of leaves of several types of plants to test our method. Initially, our method segments the input image to isolate disease parts of the leaf. Then we obtain various features from the diseased affected segmented image. Finally, we classify leaves into healthy and disease types based on its features using Multiclass Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier. Experimental results indicate that our method yields very high accuracy rate for detection and classification of plant diseases. |
