In recent years, rice production is mostly affected by rice plant leaf diseases due to the unawareness of suitable management strategies. The paddy leaves are regularly impacted by Brown spot and Bacterial blight diseases, which result in creating major loss to the farm owners. The naked-eye observation is used by the farmer to analyse the condition of paddy leaves, but, it takes more time and the accuracy of it is based on the observer. The naked-eye observation is generally difficult and it has a high possibility of human error. To overcome these drawbacks, a fast and suitable recognition system is required. Thus, appropriate methodologies are required for the determination of diseases in paddy leaf. The use of image processing is seen as a non-intrusive method that offers farmers a precise, economical, and trustworthy solution. Therefore, this research work, focused to provide the fast recognition system to detect leaf diseases in paddy crops.
