Plant Leaf and Diseases Identification

Abstract

The economy of Bangladesh is mainly Agricultural. Agriculture is the largest sector in Bangladesh, comprising almost 80% of people’s involvement by contributing 21-23% of the GDP. From the beginning of the 21st century, Bangladesh wants to become digital. A lot of sectors has already been digitized. But our Agricultural sector is not digitized so much. So our aim is to contribute our effort to digitize Bangladesh Agriculture sector through our research project. In this project, our goal is to find an easier and smarter way to identify the common diseases of plants using smartphones with minimum camera capability. This could be the best way to take necessary steps to prevent further damages to the plants as it will suggest required solutions to the identified diseases. Also there are no remote way to communicate among the farmers or the agricultural experts. That’s why we intend to build a community with both farmers and experts, where they can share their problems and solution. Our objective is to provide supports to the users as much as possible. As this project is based on our agricultural sector, most of our users will be farmers. So it has to be as simpler as it could be that anyone with minimum knowledge of smartphones can use it.
