AI-Based Plant Disease Detection Using Deep Convolutional Neural Networks (Paperback)

Paperback. AI-Based Plant Disease Detection Using Deep Convolutional Neural Networks presents a focused technical treatment of computer vision and deep learning methods for identifying plant diseases from leaf images. The book explains how image-based analysis can support automated disease recognition by combining visual feature extraction, convolutional neural networks, image classification, and machine learning principles. It introduces the role of digital plant imagery in agricultural diagnostics and describes how deep neural architectures learn discriminative patterns associated with visible symptoms such as lesions, discoloration, spots, and other disease-related changes.The book provides a structured view of the computational pipeline used in AI-based plant disease detection, from image acquisition and preparation through feature learning, model training, classification, and evaluation. Particular attention is given to deep convolutional neural networks because they can learn hierarchical image representations directly from visual data, reducing dependence on manually engineered features. The discussion places these methods within the broader context of precision agriculture, smart farming, crop monitoring, and agricultural information systems. A technical guide to deep convolutional neural networks for automated plant disease detection, image classification, and agricultural decision support systems. This item is printed on demand.
