Abstract

Conventional Expert systems, especially those used in diagnosing diseases in the agricultural domain, depend only on textual input. This paper explores the idea of augmenting a traditional diagnostic expert system model, with an image analyzer. The goal of this augmentation is to automatically detect, extract, and classify abnormal features on a plant leaf, thus reducing the need for human interaction and increasing the accuracy of the diagnosis. The result of applying this approach is presented through the use of cucumber diseases as a test case.
