Agriculture exhibits the prime driving force for growth of agro-based economies globally. In the field of agriculture, detecting and preventing crops from attacks of pests is the major concern in today's world. Early detection of plant disease becomes necessary to prevent the degradation in the yield of crop production. In this paper, we propose an ensemble based Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) architecture that detects plant disease from the images of the leaves of the plant. The proposed architecture takes into account CNN architectures like VGG-19, ResNet-50, and InceptionV3 as its base models, and the prediction from these models is used as an input for our meta-model (Inception-ResNetV2). The approach helped us in building a generalized model for disease detection with an accuracy of 97.9 % under test conditions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
