diseases.
Proposed Framework
Data Acquisition
A balanced dataset is crucial for training accurate models. Data augmentation
techniques are employed to address data imbalance by generating synthetic
images of rare diseases.
Image Preprocessing
To improve the robustness of the system, logarithmic transformation is used
to enhance the image contrast and minimize the effects of uncontrolled
illumination.
Feature Extraction
This involves extracting discriminative features from the preprocessed
images. The Multi-Level (ML) method is used for feature representation,
while Multi-Channel Local Binary Pattern (MCLBP) extracts color and
texture features.
Classification
A one-against-all Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier is used to
classify the rice leaf diseases based on the extracted features. This
method has shown promising results for multi-class classification.
