Mr.Nitin Pandit Kumbhar. M. Tech. in Electronics Engineering July, 2012 Prof. S. B. Dhaygude. Agricultural Plant Leaf Disease Detection using image processing.

A Problem definition and Relevance Plant diseases cause periodic outbreak of diseases which leads to large scale death and famine. The naked eye observation of experts is the main approach adopted in practice for detection and identification of plant diseases. But, this requires continuous monitoring of experts which might prohibitively expensive in large farms. Further, in some developing countries, farmers may have to go long distances to contact experts, this makes consulting experts too expensive and time consuming and

moreover farmers are unaware of non native diseases. Detection of plant diseases is an important research topic as it may prove benefits in monitoring large fields of crops.

B. Introduction

Plant disease diagnosis is an art as well as science.The diagnostic proces (i.e.recognition of symptomsand signs), is inherently visual and requires intuitive judgment as well as the use of scientific methods.Photographic images of symptoms and signs of plants diseases used extensively to enhance description of plant diseases are invaluable in research, teaching and diagnostics etc. Farmers are very much concerned about the huge costs involved in these activities. Automatic identification and classification of diseases based on their particular symptoms are very useful to farmers and also agriculture scientists. Early detection of diseases is a major challenge in agriculture science.

C. Survey of the possible development approaches

1. Color Transformation Structure: First, the RGB images of leaves are converted
into Hue Saturation Intensity (HSI) color space representation. Hue is a color attribute that refers to the domi ant color as perceived by an observer. Saturation refers to the relative purity or the amount of white light added to hue and intensity refers to the amplitude of the light

2. Masking green pixels: In this step, identify the mostly green colored pixels. After that, based on specified threshold value that is computed for these pixels, the mostly green pixels are masked as follows: if the green component of the pixel intensity is less than the pre-computed threshold value, that pixels are assigned to a value of zero. This is done in sense that the green colored pixels mostly represent the healthy areas of the leaf and they do not add any valuable weight to disease identification and furthermore this significantly reduces the processing time.

3 .Segmentation: The infected region is then segmented into a number of patches of equal size. The size of the patch is chosen in such a way that the significant information is not lost. The next step is to extract the useful segments. Not all segments contain significant amount of information. So the patches which are having more than fifty percent of the information are taken into account for the further analysis.

4 Color co-occurrence Method: The color co-occurrence texture analysis method is developed through the Spatial Gray-level Dependence Matrices (SGDM). The gray level co-occurrence methodology is a statistical way to describe shape by statistically sampling the way certain gray-levels occur in relation to other gray levels . These matrices measure the probability that a pixel at one particular gray level will occur at a distinct distance and orientation from any pixel given that pixel has a second particular gray level

5 Texture Features: Texture features like Contrast, Energy, Local homogeneity, Cluster shade and Cluster prominence are computed for the Hue content of the image

7. The Proposed Work To study of Detection of plant leaf disease with color co-occurrence matrix . Implement MATLAB code with GUI for Detection of Agricultural plant leaf disease. Software Architecture MATLAB 7 R2012a
