Abstract: About 70% of the India economy depends on agriculture. Due to environmental changes such as rainfall, temperature, the crop yield gets affected severely. Phaseolus vulgaris L. is an important food legume crops and provide essential diet for millions of people across the world. It is affected by various diseases out of which Anthracnose are of major importance. Anthracnose disease is caused by fungus Colletotrichum lindemuthianum. Camellia assamica (J. W. Mast.) W. Wight is one of the most popular non-alcoholic beverage crops in the world. The leaf gets severely affected by fungus Alternaria alternata. Development of automatic detection system using advanced computer technology such as image processing help to support the farmers in the identification of diseases at an early or initial stage and provide useful information for its control. Therefore the present study was carried out on automatic disease detection of plant leaf of Phaseolus vulgaris (Beans) and Camellia assamica (Tea) using image processing techniques. It involves image acquisition, image preprocessing, image segmentation, feature extraction and classification.
Keywords: Phaseolus vulgaris, Camellia assamica, image acquisition, image segmentation, feature extraction.
