The document discusses various machine learning algorithms and techniques used for plant disease detection, with a focus on mango plants. It describes image acquisition, pre-processing techniques like cropping and resizing, segmentation methods including thresholding and edge detection, feature extraction using GLCM, and classification algorithms such as neural networks, KNN, K-means clustering, and support vector machines. SVM is highlighted as an effective approach for identifying plant diseases from images by learning from labeled training data.
