# Potato & Tomato Disease Classification Web Application |
|
|
|
|
|
### Overview |
|
This project is a web application developed using Flask that allows users to upload images of potato or tomato leaves and receive predictions regarding potential diseases. The application utilizes two deep learning models: one trained to classify potato leaf diseases and another for tomato leaf diseases. Both models were trained using convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and implemented using PyTorch. |
|
|
|
|
|
### Key Features |
|
- **Image Upload:** Users can upload images of potato or tomato leaves. |
|
- **Disease Prediction:** The application predicts whether the leaf is healthy or affected by specific diseases. |
|
- **Dynamic Background:** The background image of the web page dynamically changes based on whether the user selects potato or tomato. |
|
- **Probability Display:** The probability of the predicted class is displayed as a percentage. |
|
|
|
|
|
### Technologies Used |
|
- **Python:** Core programming language used for model development and Flask backend. |
|
- **Flask:** Web framework for developing the web application. |
|
- **PyTorch:** Deep learning framework used to develop and train the models. |
|
- **HTML/CSS:** For creating the frontend of the web application. |
|
- **PIL (Pillow):** For image processing. |
|
- **OpenCV:** For image display and preprocessing. |
|
- **Torchvision:** For image transformation utilities. |
|
|
|
|
|
### Models |
|
- **Potato Disease Classification Model** |
|
- **Classes:** |
|
Potato Early Blight, |
|
Potato Late Blight, |
|
Potato Healthy |
|
- **Techniques Used:** |
|
- Convolutional layers for feature extraction. |
|
- Batch normalization and max pooling for enhanced training stability and performance. |
|
- Dropout layers to prevent overfitting. |
|
|
|
- **Tomato Disease Classification Model** |
|
- **Classes:** |
|
Tomato Early Blight, |
|
Tomato Late Blight, |
|
Tomato Healthy |
|
- **Techniques Used:** |
|
- Similar architecture to the potato model with appropriate adjustments for tomato disease classification. |
|
- Batch normalization, max pooling, and dropout layers are also used here. |
|
|
|
|
|
### Web Application |
|
- **Backend** |
|
The backend of the application is powered by Flask. It loads the trained models, handles image uploads, processes images, and returns predictions to the frontend. |
|
|
|
- **Model Loading:** Both models (potato and tomato) are loaded at the start of the application to minimize latency during prediction. |
|
- **Prediction Logic:** Depending on the selected plant type (potato or tomato), the corresponding model is used to predict the disease class. |
|
- **Dynamic Background:** The background image on the frontend changes based on the selected plant type, enhancing user experience. |
|
|
|
- **Frontend** |
|
The frontend is developed using HTML and CSS, with Bootstrap for responsive design. |
|
|
|
- **File Upload Interface:** Users can upload an image of a leaf. |
|
- **Prediction Display:** After processing, the application displays the predicted disease class and the associated probability. |
|
- **Dynamic Background:** The background image changes depending on whether the user is predicting for potato or tomato. |
|

|
### Usage |
|
1. Install the required dependencies using ```pip install -r requirements.txt```. |
|
2. Download the pre-trained model weights and place them in the `models/` directory. |
|
3. Run the Flask web application using ```python app.py```. |
|
4. Access the application in your web browser at `http://localhost:5000`. |
|
|
|
### Outcome |
|
- **Performance** |
|
- **Potato Model:** Achieved an accuracy of 98% on the validation set, with strong performance in classifying Early Blight, Late Blight, and Healthy leaves. |
|
- **Tomato Model:** Achieved an accuracy of 97% on the validation set, effectively distinguishing between Early Blight, Late Blight, and Healthy leaves. |
|
- **Benefits** |
|
- **Disease Detection:** Helps farmers and agriculturists detect diseases in potato and tomato plants early, potentially preventing crop losses. |
|
- **User-Friendly Interface:** The web application provides a simple interface for non-technical users to diagnose plant diseases. |
