Diagnosis of Plant Leaf Disease using Vision Transformer

In precision agriculture, it is crucial to have a reliable system for identifying diseases and suggesting measures to maintain crop health and enhance yield performance. Addressing the persistent challenge of accurate and timely identification of plant illnesses, this study introduces a new understanding of the approach utilizing the Vision Transformer (ViT) architecture. Leveraging a diverse dataset encompassing both diseased and healthy plant images, the ViT model demonstrates efficacy by achieving an precision of 94% in recognizing and categorizing diseases based on plant leaves. The success of this transformer-based methodology underscores its potential to significantly enhance the field of agricultural diagnostics, offering a promising solution to improve crop management practices and mitigate potential losses in yield.
