Plant Disease Detection and it’s Health Monitoring using CNN and Arduino

Abstract

Plant diseases are a major threat to crop yield and food security. Early detection and diagnosis are crucial to prevent the spread of disease and minimize crop losses. Plant diseases can have devastating effects on crop yields and food security. Disease detection is crucial for effective disease management. In recent years, deep learning techniques, such as Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN), have shown promising results in disease detection. In this study, we propose a plant disease detection system using CNN and Arduino. The system involves capturing images of plant leaves using a camera module connected to an Arduino board. In recent years, deep learning techniques such as Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have shown great promise in image-based disease detection. Additionally, the use of low-cost microcontrollers like Arduino can provide a costeffective solution for real-time disease detection in the field. This paper proposes a plant disease detection system that combines CNN and Arduino for early and accurate disease detection. The system utilizes a CNN model to classify plant disease images and an Arduino board to analyze the results and provide real-time feedback to the user. The proposed system is tested on a publicly available dataset of plant disease images, achieving high accuracy, and demonstrating its potential for practical use. The results show that the proposed system can provide an affordable and efficient solution for early plant disease detection, facilitating prompt action and reducing crop losses.
