I thank God Almighty for blessing me with wisdom and knowledge to complete this project
successfully. I wish to express my health gratitude to our esteemed principal Dr. Lilian I
Jasper, Women’s Christian College, Chennai for granting me permission and providing all
assistance to enable to complete my project work.

I am very thankful to Ms. Mary Ivy Deepa I.S, M.C.A, M.Phil., Head of the Department
and my internal guide, PG Department of Computer Science & Technology, Women’s
Christian College, Chennai for having given me the opportunity to take up this project and
her expert and invaluable guidance at every stage of the project.

Last but not least, our thanks are due in no small measure to my family members for their
constant encourages and support which has enable me to do this project
 ABSTRACT

In agriculture and horticulture, the infection of disease plays prominent role. To reduce the
disease, they are many methods which is done manually. But the drawback is if any of the
disease is affected farmers have to consult the expert. The time and cost involved for this is
more. So, to reduce this digital image processing comes into the field of study. The images of
the affected parts are captured and stored in the data base, using which any fruits or
vegetables that are affected by the same disease can be identified in advance and thus the
infection can be reduced beforehand.

The types of disease can be classified as seed born, air born and soil born disease. In this
research, Identification of seed born disease is done by transforming the images both using
Fourier transform and wavelet transform and implementing convolution Neural network
algorithm. The image transformation techniques are applied to compare the accuracy of
which transformation is better for the identification of seed born disease types. The accuracy
result of Fourier and wavelet transforms is represented visually using bar chart.

From the analysis and result, the study is concluded that Wavelet transform gives better
accuracy for identification of seed born disease when compared to Fourier transform. With an
exception, for anthracnose disease Fourier transform gives better accuracy than wavelet
transform.
