Potato Disease Classification Using Convolutional Neural Networks

This document proposes developing a potato disease classification system using convolutional neural networks (CNNs). The system will collect images of healthy and diseased potato plants to train a CNN model to classify different potato diseases. It will then develop a user-friendly web or mobile app for farmers to upload potato leaf images and receive the predicted disease class and management recommendations. The goals are to improve disease identification accuracy, enable early detection to prevent crop losses, and ultimately contribute to food security and sustainable agriculture.
