As the agriculture industry is growing fast, many efforts are introduced to ensure a high quality of produce. Diseases and defects found in plants and crops affect greatly the agriculture industry. Hence, many techniques and technologies have been developed to help solve or reduce the impact of plant diseases. Imagining analysis tools and gas sensors are becoming more frequently integrated into smart systems for plant disease detection. Many disease detection systems incorporate imaging analysis tools and VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) profiling techniques to detect early symptoms of diseases and defects of plants, fruits, and vegetative produce. These disease detection techniques can be further categorized into two main groups: preharvest disease detection and postharvest disease detection techniques. This paper aims to introduce the available disease detection techniques and to compare them with the latest innovative smart systems that feature visible imaging, hyperspectral imaging, and VOC profiling. In addition, this paper considers the efforts to automate imaging techniques to help accelerate the disease detection process. Different approaches are analyzed and compared in terms of work environment, automation, implementation, and accuracy of disease identification along with the future evolution perspective in this field.

Agricultural production is one of the main factors affecting a country's domestic market situation. Many problems are the reasons for estimating crop yields, which vary in different parts of the world. Overuse of chemical fertilizers, uneven distribution of rainfall, and uneven soil fertility lead to plant diseases. This forces us to focus on effective methods for detecting plant diseases. It is important to find an effective plant disease detection technique. Plants need to be monitored from the beginning of their life cycle to avoid such diseases. Observation is a kind of visual observation, which is time-consuming, costly, and requires a lot of experience. For speeding up this process, it is necessary to automate the disease detection system. A lot of researchers have developed plant leaf detection systems based on various technologies. In this chapter, the authors discuss the potential of methods for detecting plant leaf diseases. It includes various steps such as image acquisition, image segmentation, feature extraction, and classification.

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%.

Plant diseases are diseases that change or disrupt its important functions. The reduction in the age at which a plant dies is the main danger of plant diseases. And farmers around the world have to face the challenge of identifying and classifying these diseases and changing their treatments for each disease. This task becomes more difficult when they have to rely on naked eyes to identify diseases due to the lack of proper financial resources. But with the widespread use of smartphones by farmers and advances made in the field of deep learning, researchers around the world are trying to find a solution to this problem. Similarly, the purpose of this paper is to classify these diseases using deep learning and localize them on their respective leaves. We have considered two main models for classification called resnet and efficientnet and for localizing these diseases we have used GRADCAM and CAM. GRADCAM was able to localize diseases better than CAM

The Agriculture plant diseases are responsible for farmer economic losses. These diseases affect on plant root, fruit, leaf, and stem. Detection of disease at early stages helps the farmer to improve productivity. In the traditional system agriculture experts and experienced farmer can recognize the plant diseases at the lower accuracy which causes losses to farmers. Currently several researchers are proposing soft computing and expert systems to recognize plant diseases.  Plant disease identification by visual way is less accurate because some diseases do not have any visible symptoms or some of the diseases appear too late at the time of harvesting. The modern technology in agriculture sector can substantially improve the agriculture production & sustainability. This paper provides a review for fruit disease detection techniques for pomegranate plants. This study includes preprocessing, segmentation, feature extraction and classification techniques for pomegranate fruit diseases detection systems. This paper also states the comparison and limitations of existing fruit disease detection techniques.

Presently, rapid and precise disease identification process plays a vital role to increase agricultural productivity in a sustainable manner. Conventionally, human experts identify the existence of anomaly in plants occurred due to disease, pest, nutrient deficient, weather conditions. Since manual diagnosis process is a tedious and time consuming task, computer vision approaches have begun to automatically detect and classify the plant diseases. The general image processing tasks involved in plant disease detection are preprocessing, segmentation, feature extraction and classification. This paper performs a review of computer vision based plant disease detection and classification techniques. The existing plant disease detection approaches including segmentation and feature extraction techniques have been reviewed. Additionally, a brief survey of machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) models to identify plant diseases also takes place. Furthermore, a set of recently developed DL based tomato plant leaf disease detection and classification models are surveyed under diverse aspects. To further understand the reviewed methodologies, a detailed comparative study also takes place to recognize the unique characteristics of the reviewed models.


Area of agriculture plant disease detection attracts is very important one, main role is diseases detection. To develop the plant diseases detection, it required to identify arrival of the diseases in the leaf and instruction to the agriculturalists. In this proposed work, a leaf disease detection system (LDDS) based on Otsu segment (OS) is developed to identify and classify the diseases in the set of leaves. Clustering scheme is offered from segmented image of the diseased leaf. Otsu segmentation is measured the size of segmented leaf are uploaded to less storage place. In observing location, the amounts are retrieved as well as the features are extracted from the original segmented image. The enhancement as well as classification is used to SVM based on PSO classifier. The overall design of this paper is LDDS take scan be calculated in terms of system efficiency and it is compared with the existing methods. The result indicates the research technique offers a whole detection accuracy of 90.5% and classification accuracy of 90.4%.
