This document discusses a research paper on using deep learning models to recognize plant leaf diseases from images. The paper aims to help farmers identify diseases early to minimize economic losses. It employs Super-Resolution Convolutional Neural Network (SRCNN) and Bicubic models, which can identify healthy and diseased leaves with over 99% accuracy. Some common plant diseases mentioned include black rot, early blight, late blight, septoria leaf spot, and black measles. The deep learning models aim to help farmers identify diseases accurately and in a timely manner without requiring expertise.
