Motivation
 Identification of diseases in plants is a critical research problem in the domain of computer vision
and agriculture.
 For identification of diseases, mostly farmers rely on their naked eyes. But some diseases are not
easily recognizable through naked eyes.
 Mostly farmers are unable to procure expensive systems for plant protection or regular monitoring
of experts.
 In last decade, different types of image processing techniques play crucial role in identification of
plant diseases. But majority of techniques are time consuming, complex and lengthy.
 So there is a strong motivation for introducing a system which can be quickly and easily trained to
work with different lighting conditions, different angles, and all types of diseases.
 In this dissertation, the Apple fruit is used as test case. 50 lac tons is the total production of apples
all over the world of which 13 lac 35 thousand tons are grown in Pakistan. In this dissertation,
different concepts of machine learning are used to quickly and accurately classify diverse apple
diseases.

Problem Statement

Problem Statement
 Many techniques have been implemented in the domain of agriculture for detection and
classification of fruit diseases. Most of these techniques focus on hand crafted features which
do not yield promising results due to several factors such as change in illumination, translation,
occlusion, rotation etc.
18

Problem Statement
 In this research work, various issues related to detection of diseases are:-
Choice of color spaces.
Selection of distinct features
Selection of useful features.
Weak contrast and boundaries.
Inhomogeneous object region during image segmentation.
Irregular shape during feature extraction.
Similarities between defected and normal apple.
Different symptoms but similar features and similar shape.
Scalability issues (No fixed parameter for scale adjustment of different diseases)

Glossary (Some Basic Terminologies)
 Artificial Neural Network
 ANN is inspired by the neural structure of the brain of animals. The fundamental processing unit of
a neural network is a single neuron. A biological neuron receives inputs from other neurons,
combines it in some manner, performs an operation on the result, and then produce the outputs
as the result.
 Neuron
 Neuron is the basic unit of a neural network that gets input values and bias values. Each input
value has an associated weight. When a value arrives at neuron, it gets multiplied by the
associated weight. These weights can be updated during training time.
 Connections
 Neuron in the same layer or another layer is connected by connections that have always a weight
value associated with it. These weights values represent the relationship between neurons. The
stronger the relationship between neuron is, higher the value of weight is. During the training of
neural network, the values of these weights are adjusted to reduce error.
71

 Layers used in Neural Network
 Input Layer
 First layer of neural network is called input layer that takes input values and pass these values to
the next layer of neural network. No operation is performed on the input values in this layer and it
doesn’t have any weights and biases associated with it.
 Hidden Layer
 Input layer usually pass input values to hidden layers which apply the different transformation to
these inputs so that the output layer can use these transformation. There may be one or more
hidden layers in any neural network; however the number of input layer depends upon the
complexity of the problem. Usually some activation is applied on each hidden layer. The output of
final hidden layer is forwarded to the output layer.
 Output Layer
 The output layer is the final layer of neural network that receive its input from the last hidden layer.
Output layer act as classifier and predict the output class for the task of classification.
72

 Deep Learning
 Deep learning is the sub domain of machine learning. The term “deep” is used to describe the
development of many layered neural networks. For training a deep learning model a huge set of
labeled data and a neural network with many layers is required. Usually by increasing the size of
data, the deep learning improves its accuracy.
 Deep learning models can achieve very high accuracy, sometimes the accuracy that is better than
human-level.
 Activation functions
 Activation functions also called transfer function are used to introduce non-linearity to neural
networks. It takes values in form of vector or matrix and squashes the input values in a smaller
range. This range depends on the activation function being used.
73

 Convolution Layer
 The convolution layers extract features from raw data. Convolutional layers have parameters
(kernel) that are learned so that these filters are adjusted automatically to extract the most useful
information of feature.
 The CNN extract features through an operation called convolution.
74

 Pooling
 Pooling layer is also used to shrink the input volume area. Information or data
reduction is done in a way that requirement image may not disturb and reduced data
is received with features present which is required for categorization. Two types of
pooling are mostly used (Max Pooling, Average pooling)
75

 ReLu Layer
 ReLu layer is also called a Rectified linear unit. At this level, if the value is negative then it is
changed to zero and if its greater than zero then it resumes its weight.
 ReLu function can be written in the following form
 Convert linear to non-linear.
76

 SoftMax
 The Softmax function is used in neural network for multi-classification output.The softmax
activation function is used to convert an arbitrary real value to posterior probability
 DropOut Layer
 Deep neural network usually contains a large number of parameters, multiple hidden layers
and learn the complicated relationship between the inputs and outputs. While training with
few data, it might be possible that many of these complicated relationships will be the result
of noise. This will lead to a problem of over-fitting.
 Batch Normalization
 Batch Normalization Accelerating Deep Network Training by Reducing Internal Covariate
Shift. Today, Batch Normalization is used in almost all CNN architectures. Batch
Normalization is used to achieve hide learning rate , less dropout.

 Fully Connected Layer
 Fully connected layer is used for classification by using the features obtained from the
convolution and pooling layers. The fully connected layer uses the softmax activation on its
last layer that converts the values into the probabilities.

 Factorizing Convolution
 The aim of factorizing convolution is to reduce the number of connections/ parameters
without decreasing the network efficiency.
