In the era of Scientific Development, many technologies and new ways of solving real-life problems are being invented every day. The basic need of the food is increasing parallelly, due to an increase in population. According to FAO of the UN, annually 20 to 40 percent of crops were lost due to diseases. That’s why technological development in the agricultural field is important to improve the productivity of crops. This major issue can be overcome by implementing disease detection techniques to identify the disease from an input image. This process involves steps like dataset collection, image pre-processing and training a classification model. The dataset consists of plants like cotton, grapes and tomatoes. CNN classification model is used for disease classification. The proposed model gives an accuracy of 96%. After disease classification it also provides information like causes, symptoms, management and diagnostic solutions.

Plant diseases cause great damage in agriculture, resulting in significant yield losses. The recent expansion of deep learning methods has found its application in plant disease detection, offering a robust tool with highly accurate results. The current limitations and shortcomings of existing plant disease detection models are presented and discussed in this paper. Furthermore, a new dataset containing 79,265 images was introduced with the aim to become the largest dataset containing leaf images. Images were taken in various weather conditions, at different angles, and daylight hours with an inconsistent background mimicking practical situations. Two approaches were used to augment the number of images in the dataset: traditional augmentation methods and state-of-the-art style generative adversarial networks. Several experiments were conducted to test the impact of training in a controlled environment and usage in real-life situations to accurately identify plant diseases in a complex background and in various conditions including the detection of multiple diseases in a single leaf. Finally, a novel two-stage architecture of a neural network was proposed for plant disease classification focused on a real environment. The trained model achieved an accuracy of 93.67%.


To further the progress of sustainable development and solve real-life problems we have seen many processes are applied in our life, like artificial intelligence and decisionmaking. Morocco is one of the countries that rely heavily on agriculture and food production. So, food production is considered the basic needs of a human being for that we have seen fast advancements in agriculture productivity to meet the projected demand. However, with the time passing by, all species of plants are subjected to various types of diseases that cause huge damage. Although the observation of variation in the infected part of the leaf plant is very important but not enough because the perception of the human eye is not so much stronger. The identification of plant diseases is a very important task in the agriculture area. So, the best identification means there is a huge gain on agricultural productivity, quality, and quantity. To detect plant diseases in an earlier stage we require efficient and precise techniques to assist farmers in decision-making. This article presents, first, an overview of plant diseases from leaves images and different disease classification approaches that can be used for plant leaf disease detection.


GPUs are very useful in high performance computing. With the emerging new trend of cloud environments with GPU instances are now gaining popularity in many real time applications. GPUs in a cloud environment still needs a long way to initiate various challenges in a cloud .The gap for making this as a shared resource in the cloud is still at preliminary level and still limited to many real life problems like plant disease detection at a grass root level. Timely information to farmers about diseases is still a great bottleneck for farmers. Due to this, farmers pour many rounds of pesticides to prevent their crops from diseases. But due to lack of proper ICT, farmers are not informed properly about their crop diseases which result in high loss to ecological balance and community people. Thus, to solve the problem of delayed updation about their crop diseases to farmers, GPU processing is used instead of Normal CPU processing on the cloud. This research paper focuses on the applications of GPU Computing within cloud and to study the performance of GPU image processing and Normal CPU image processing with respect to plant disease detection framework. This paper also addresses the problem of throttling in normal CPU when used for large datasets. GPU processors had shown a four-fold increase in performance as compared to normal datasets. GPU results shown 63 times faster as compared to normal CPU for analyzing 52,486 images of healthy and diseased leaf images. This include 16 plant types and 55 leaf diseases.

We present CoCoX (short for Conceptual and Counterfactual Explanations), a model for explaining decisions made by a deep convolutional neural network (CNN). In Cognitive Psychology, the factors (or semantic-level features) that humans zoom in on when they imagine an alternative to a model prediction are often referred to as fault-lines. Motivated by this, our CoCoX model explains decisions made by a CNN using fault-lines. Specifically, given an input image I for which a CNN classification model M predicts class cpred, our fault-line based explanation identifies the minimal semantic-level features (e.g., stripes on zebra, pointed ears of dog), referred to as explainable concepts, that need to be added to or deleted from I in order to alter the classification category of I by M to another specified class calt. We argue that, due to the conceptual and counterfactual nature of fault-lines, our CoCoX explanations are practical and more natural for both expert and non-expert users to understand the internal workings of complex deep learning models. Extensive quantitative and qualitative experiments verify our hypotheses, showing that CoCoX significantly outperforms the state-of-the-art explainable AI models. Our implementation is available at https://github.com/arjunakula/CoCoX

Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) have proven to be a powerful tool for solving a wide variety of real-life problems. The possibility of using them for forecasting phenomena occurring in nature, especially weather indicators, has been widely discussed. However, the various areas of the world differ in terms of their difficulty and ability in preparing accurate weather forecasts. Poland lies in a zone with a moderate transition climate, which is characterized by seasonality and the inflow of many types of air masses from different directions, which, combined with the compound terrain, causes climate variability and makes it difficult to accurately predict the weather. For this reason, it is necessary to adapt the model to the prediction of weather conditions and verify its effectiveness on real data. The principal aim of this study is to present the use of a regressive model based on a unidirectional multilayer neural network, also called a Multilayer Perceptron (MLP), to predict selected weather indicators for the city of Szczecin in Poland. The forecast of the model we implemented was effective in determining the daily parameters at 96% compliance with the actual measurements for the prediction of the minimum and maximum temperature for the next day and 83.27% for the prediction of atmospheric pressure.
