Automatic Classification of Mango Leaf Disease based on Machine Learning and Deep Learning Techniques

Abstract

Fruits are the essential source of nutrition for the human body. The fruit needs to be nurtured and cared for in order to remain healthy. Lack of upkeep, illnesses, blemishes, and fungi result in a considerable loss of produce and profit. One of the important and popular fruit that is consumed worldwide is Mango. It is a fragile fruit and is vulnerable to diseases that affects its quality and quantity. Manual inspection for diseases or infection is a tedious process and requires abundant resources such as time and labour. Manual inspection is inefficient and inaccurate. Automatic inspection on the other hand has numerous benefits. The image classification techniques and algorithms can be used to detect infected and healthy mangoes thus reducing the losses to the farmers.
