Automatic Detection and Image Recognition of Precision Agriculture for Citrus Diseases

Abstract

In recent years, the development of precision agriculture is a new technology. The main reason for the automation of agricultural processes is to save the time and energy required to perform repeated farming tasks and to increase production by treating each crop separately and applying smart agricultural concepts. In this paper, an automatic detection and image recognition of citrus diseases is presented that can help farmer find the disease and identify it from the captured images. This method use YOLO(You Only Look Once) algorithm which is an object detection model to detect and recognize the diseases from citrus leaf images. YOLO can realtime detect the disease and circle around it on the image and video. The dataset includes images of citrus leaf with two kinds of diseases: Citrus Canker, Citrus Greening.
