Usage

On launching the application, you will be presented with the usage instructons. It follows that to get a suggestion of a disease affecting a plant of interest, take a photo of the plant, or select a photo of the plant from your gallery.

The application then runs the TFLITE model in the background to get a suggestion of the disease. It displays the results on the next screen Suggestions

Important to note

• The tflite model has been trained to detect only a subset of the diseases. They include:

  • Pepper Bell Bacterial Spot
  • Pepper Bell Healthy
  • Potato Early Blight
  • Potato Healthy
  • Potato Late Blight
  • Tomato Bacterial Spot
  • Tomato Early Blight
  • Tomato Healthy
  • Tomato Late Blight
  • Tomato Leaf Mold
  • Tomato Septoria Leaf Spot
  • Tomato Spotted Spider Mites
  • Tomato Target Spot
  • Tomato Mosaic Virus
  • Tomato Yellow Leaf Curl Virus

• The size of the dataset was only sufficient enough to make the model recognize selected diseases, but it faces problems with images of non-plants.

• The application was built using Flutter and a tflite model from Teachable Machine Learning by Google. The dataset was from KAGGLE.

Contributing

Contributions towards the project are welcome. Specifically:

• The tflite model used can be replaced with a more accurate one/one with more diseases.
• The responsiveness of the application can be improved.
• Warning messages can be added for non-plant inputs made by users.
