Rice leaf disease detection using machine learning technique.

India is one of the hugest rice cultivating country in the world. For thousands of years rice is a most major food, consequently every mankind depends on it directly and indirectly. But the Main hindrance in rice production is rice leaf diseases. It greatly reduces the production rate. Rice leaf diseases have specific symptoms that cannot be easily identified by usual human's eye. Using one of the image processing techniques, the rice leaf diseases are detected efficiently. In order to detect the diseased image Median Filter, K-means Clustering, GLCM and SVM classifier algorithms were proposed. Accuracy, Precision and ROC of SVM classifier were calculated as performance metrices. Around 97±2 % accuracy was achieved in this method. This paper discusses the efficient methodology for rice leaf disease detection. By using proposed method diseased leaves are identified at the early stage, which can aid farmers in preventing further damage to their crops. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
