Over the past decade, several image-processing methods and algorithms have been proposed for identifying plant diseases based on visual data. DNN (Deep Neural Networks) recently become popular this task. Both traditional image processing DNN-based encounter significant performance issues in real-time detection owing to computational limitations a broad spectrum of disease features. This article proposes novel technique localising Quad-Tree decomposition an feature learning simultaneously....
