Research Proposal

Title:
Crop Disease Detection Using Machine Learning and Image Processing Techniques

Introduction:
Agricultural productivity is pivotal for global food security. However, crop diseases
pose significant threats, leading to substantial economic losses and food scarcity.
Traditional methods of disease detection are often time-consuming and reliant on
expert knowledge, which may not be readily accessible to farmers, especially in
rural areas (Mahlein, 2023).

Recent advancements in technology have introduced machine learning (ML) and


image processing as effective tools for automating crop disease detection. These
technologies enable the analysis of visual symptoms on plant leaves, facilitating
early and accurate identification of diseases (Smith & Doe, 2022).

This research aims to develop an automated system for crop disease detection using
ML and image processing techniques, leveraging a publicly available dataset from
Kaggle. By doing so, the study seeks to provide a scalable and accessible solution to
aid farmers in timely disease identification and management.

Problem Statement:
The timely and accurate identification of crop diseases is essential for effective crop
management and yield improvement. Current manual approaches are prone to
delays and inaccuracies. This project aims to bridge the gap by developing an
automated system capable of classifying crop diseases using ML models trained on
image data.

Objectives:
1. To preprocess and enhance crop leaf images for better feature extraction.
2. To train machine learning models (e.g., CNNs) for accurate classification of
various crop diseases.
3. To evaluate and compare the performance of different ML algorithms on the
dataset.
4. To provide a user-friendly system that can aid farmers in disease detection using
mobile or web-based interfaces (optional extension).
Scope of the Study:
This study focuses on the detection and classification of crop diseases using visual
symptoms on leaves. The dataset used is limited to the one sourced from Kaggle,
which contains labeled images of healthy and diseased plant leaves. The research
will not cover pest infestations or soil-related diseases.

Methodology:
- Data Collection: The Kaggle dataset will serve as the primary data source.
- Preprocessing: Techniques like image resizing, normalization, and augmentation
will be applied.
- Modeling: Machine learning models such as Convolutional Neural Networks
(CNNs) will be developed and trained.
- Evaluation: Models will be assessed using metrics like accuracy, precision, recall,
and F1-score.
- Deployment (optional): A prototype application may be created to demonstrate
real-world usability.

Significance of the Study:


The proposed system can greatly aid farmers by providing a low-cost, accessible
tool for early disease detection, ultimately leading to reduced crop losses and
increased agricultural efficiency.

Expected Outcomes:
- An accurate ML model capable of classifying different types of crop diseases from
images.
- Comparative performance analysis of various algorithms.
- A potential prototype for real-world implementation.
