Plant Leaf Disease Detection

Deep learning using tensorflow on image dataset containing different healthy and unhealthy crop leaves.

Dataset

The dataset for this project can be downloaded from:

• New Plant Diseases Dataset (Kaggle)

This dataset consists of 87,900 images of leaves spanning 38 classes. Each class denotes a combination of the plant the leaf is from and the disease (or lack thereof) present in the leaf. All images are 256*256 in resolution.

The dataset is divided into three parts as follows:

• train - 70,295 images divided into 38 classes with 1,642 to 2,022 images per class.
• valid - 17,572 images divided into 38 classes with 410 to 505 images per class.
• test - 33 images (These images are not divided into their respective classes but the class can be inferred from the image filename)

Project Requirements

The external libraries required for running Train.ipynb are:

1. numpy
2. pandas
3. matplotlib
4. sklearn/scikit-learn
5. tensorflow (Version 2.3.0 or higher preferred)

Model

The model used is a deep Convolutional Neural Network with skip connections and was created using tensorflow.keras Functional API.

The different layers used in this model are as follows:

• Input
• Depthwise Convolution 2D
• Convolution 2D
• Max Pooling 2D
• Global Average Pooling 2D
• Concatenation
• Dropout
• Dense

The model makes sure of Early Stopping and Tensorboard callbacks to prevent overfitting and monitor training respectively.

TensorBoard

Use the command tensorboard --logdir tensorboard_logs/fit using the command line from the project's root directory to open the TensorBoard GUI in your browser.

Notes

• Make sure to update the BASE_PATH constant in Train.ipynb to reflect the location where your dataset is stored.
