Autonomous Robot to Detect Diseased Leaves in Plants using Convolutional Neural Networks

Abstract

The main aim of this proposed work is to build a robot that can detect diseased leaves among normal leaves. A smartphone camera is fixed on a robot which streams live video to a laptop for performing image processing. In the proposed system, Arduino Uno is used for the robot navigation. The robot will be a 4-wheel drive system. Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) is used for the detection of the diseased leaves from a group of normal and diseased leaves.
