Detection of mango leaf disease using the convolution neural network method

Abstract

Mango trees are a common plant in Indonesia. In 2021, 2.84 million tonnes of mangoes were produced in Indonesia, according to the Central Statistics Agency (BPS). You can eat mangoes either ripe or unripe. Additionally, this fruit can be turned into meals and beverages. Many farmers grow mango plants, however, Some illnesses can infect mangoes and lead to crop failure or poor fruit quality. Fungal infections like anthracnose and black fungus, often known as black fungus, affect mango plants, but many farmers continue to mistakenly believe they are identifying plant illnesses and pests. To the type of disease in mango plants, the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) method was applied in this study. It has been demonstrated that CNN is a very efficient way of processing images and identifying key elements for intricate pattern recognition. A total of 1,405 leaf photos from three different categories—525 anthracnose images, 656 black sooty mold images, and 224 healthy images—were used as samples for CNN to identify illnesses in mango plants. This image data was taken from the kaggle.com website. The CNN model is trained using distinct datasets into training data and validation data after data collection and preprocessing. On training data, the model is 95% accurate, while on validation data, it is 98% accurate. By feeding photos of mango leaves into the model and evaluating the predictions, the detection is put into practice. Action can be taken to control the illness in these mango trees based on prediction findings showing the presence of disease with a decent amount of confidence
