Harumanis mango leaf disease recognition system using image processing technique

Abstract

Current Harumanismango farming technique in Malaysia still mostlydepends on the farmers' own expertise to monitor the crops from the attack ofpests and insects. This approach is susceptible to human errors, and thosewho do not possess this skill may not be able to detect the disease at the righttime. As leaf diseases seriously affect the crop's growth and the quality of theyield, this study aims to develop a recognition system that detects thepresence of disease in the mango leaf using image processing technique.First, the image is acquired through a smartphone camera; once it has beenpre-processed, it is then segmented in which the RGB image is converted toan HSI image, then the features are extracted. Lastly, the classification ofdisease is done to determine thetype of leaf disease. The proposed systemeffectively detects and classify the disease with an accuracy of 68.89%. Thefindings of this project will contribute to farmers and society's benefit, andresearchers can use the approach to address similar issues in future works.
