In agriculture research, automatic leaf disease detection is essential research topic as it may prove benefits in monitoring large fields of crops, and thus automatically detect symptoms of disease as soon as they appear on plant leaves.To detect disease there are various steps- need to acquire image and preprocess image. Then image segmentation, feature extraction is done in order to go for statistical analysis. The proposed work includes image filtering and convert RGB image to CIE LAB color component. K-mediod technique is used for image segmentation. Lastly by using the neural networks disease is identified and classified.
