Project Overview The PlantPatrol project is an innovative initiative that leverages artificial intelligence (AI) to address critical issues in agriculture and food security. By creating an AI-driven plant disease detection system, PlantPatrol aims to provide farmers with an accessible, real-time tool for diagnosing plant diseases, thereby enhancing crop health and yield. ## 2. Project Understanding ### 2.1 Problem Statement Plant diseases pose a significant threat to global food security, resulting in substantial crop losses and adversely affecting farmers, particularly those in developing regions. Traditional detection methods often require expert knowledge, are time-consuming, and are inaccessible to small-scale farmers. This delay exacerbates the spread of diseases and reduces crop yields. The PlantPatrol project proposes an AI-driven plant disease detection system that leverages image recognition technology to offer real-time, accurate disease dia …
