Automated detection of selected tea leaf diseases in Bangladesh with convolutional neural network.

Globally, tea production and its quality fundamentally depend on tea leaves, which are susceptible to invasion by pathogenic organisms. Precise and early-stage identification of plant foliage diseases is a key element in preventing and controlling the spreading of diseases that hinder yield and quality. Image processing techniques are a sophisticated tool that is rapidly gaining traction in the agricultural sector for the detection of a wide range of diseases with excellent accuracy.
