2.1 Specific Objectives

The main objective of the study is to develop an Android Based Rubber Tree Leaf Disease and
Treatment Recommendation for Denaga’s Farm Using Otsu’s method And ORB Algorithm with
Voice Assistance.

2.1.1 General & 2.1.2 Specific

To achieve the general objective, the researchers will specifically develop the proposed system to:

1. Generate recommendation and voice assistance after capturing the leaf.

2. Detect the type of disease of the leaf and possible treatment using the Otsu’s method and
the ORB Algorithm
3. Monitor the progress of the treatment using the Android Mobile Phone and local storage
database
4. Generate a statistical report and analysis using Heuristic Algorithm.

2.2 Scope and Limitation

The application can determine the disease by taking picture of a leaf of a rubber tree. After
determining what kind of disease the application will make recommendations of the treatment.
The application will have voice assistance. The application can only determine diseases that are
stored in the database, new diseases that are not in the database will not be detected. The
application will process all kinds of leaves even if it is not a leaf of a rubber tree. The estimated
distance in which the application can detect and scan the rubber tree leaf if at least 5 to 8
inches. The application will monitor the progress of the rubber tree by taking an image then, if
the application will output the disease even if that the plant is already cure. The application has
a tendency to change the result base on the captured image either in distance of the leaf or
camera pixel.

3. REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND SYSTEMS

3.1 Advanced methods of plant disease detection. (A

review)
Sankaran et al. Stated in their study that in examining the health of a plant, polymerase
chain reaction, one of the molecular techniques are applied to recognize plant diseases.
[7] This will allow agriculturists to prevent the spread of diseases through using the tool

to diagnose and monitor the plant. However, this tool is expensive for the ordinary
agriculturists to use and will require a laboratory specialist intervention which can be a
not – friendly technique to use.
On the contrary, their research will give the researchers an idea of identifying a plant
disease through scientific means, which can also be added as one of the suggested
treatments for the proposed system.

3.2. Detection of unhealthy region of plant leaves using image processing and
ORB algorithm (SYSTEM).
This is the one of the reasons that disease detection in plants plays an important role in
agriculture field, as having disease in plants are quite natural. If proper care is not taken, in this
area then it causes serious effects on plants and due to which respective product quality,
quantity or productivity is affected. Detection of plant disease through some automatic
technique is beneficial as it reduces a large work of monitoring in big farms of crops, and at very
early stage itself, it detects the symptoms of diseases means when they appear on plant leaves.
This study represents an algorithm for image segmentation technique used for automatic
detection as well as classification of plant leaf diseases and survey on different diseases
classification techniques that can be used for plant leaf disease detection. Image segmentation,
which is an important aspect for disease detection in plant leaf disease, is done by using genetic
algorithm [7].
The researchers will use ORB algorithm for image segmentation for the detection of disease in
plant leaves. Though genetic algorithm consist of two major parts such as pixel-level
segmentation and parameter selection, the researchers will also use Key points selection and
key points detection similar to ORB algorithm.
