About

Project Title
AI-Based Plant Disease Detection System

Problem Statement

Farmers often struggle to identify plant diseases at an early stage. Incorrect diagnosis can lead to crop loss, reduced productivity, and financial problems. Many farmers do not have access to agricultural experts to quickly diagnose plant health issues.

Proposed Solution

This project introduces an AI-powered plant disease detection system that can identify diseases from plant leaf images. The system uses a machine learning model trained on plant disease datasets to analyze leaf images and predict the type of disease affecting the plant.

Users simply upload an image of a plant leaf, and the model processes the image to detect possible diseases. The system then provides the predicted disease name along with basic treatment suggestions.

Technologies Used

Python

Machine Learning / Deep Learning

TensorFlow / PyTorch

Image Processing

Dataset: PlantVillage Dataset
