Abstract

In this research, a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) utilizing the ResNet- 50 architecture is presented, demonstrating a noteworthy accuracy level of 97% in the classification of paddy diseases. By curating an extensive dataset of paddy disease images, employing data augmentation techniques, and tailoring the model, a practical tool for efficient disease detection and management in agriculture has been developed. The model's performance is further enhanced through a fine-tuning process that involves adjusting the learning rates of specific layers. This research not only underscores the potential of deep learning within the realm of agriculture but also contributes a valuable resource for farmers and agronomists. It provides them with a timely and precise means of paddy disease identification, ultimately leading to improved crop yields and the mitigation of losses.
