 INTRODUCTION
Mulberry Leaf Quality.
• Mulberry leaf quality directly affects the growth and food consumption of larvae. It also
significantly influenced the weight of the shell and pupal. Silkworms should be
repeatedly fed with quality leaves.

• Feeding high quality mulberry leaves throughout the growing phase lowers mortality
rate of the silkworms. So, the ultimate factor that affects the growth and development
of the silkworm and also the overall silk production is the quality of the mulberry
leaves.

• Feeding deficient mulberry hampers silkworm growth and its economic value. It also
results in bad cocoon formation, and hence lowers the quality of the silk produced. So,
there is a need to segregate leaves, and feed only good and healthy leaves.

 PROBLEM STATEMENT AND OBJECTIVES
PROBLEM STATEMENT
• The traditional leaf disease detection and identification approach is through the naked eye. This method
is not feasible because it is quite expensive and requires an in-depth knowledge of the diseases mulberry
leaves are prone to and experience.
• To overcome the setbacks of the traditional method, a need for having an automatic detection and
identification of the leaf disease is needed which is user-friendly, cost-effective, and most importantly
accurate.
• The proposed model aims to detect the infected region of the mulberry leaf and identify the disease.
Bounding box is drawn around the infected region. This is achieved by implementing deep learning and
computer vision techniques.

OBJECTIVES

• Objective is to detect healthy Mulberry leaves fed to silkworms, producing good-quality silk. Silk production
yields to the economy of the country.
• To use CNN, KNN for Classification, Auto-Encoder for dimensionality reduction, and techniques used to
process images.

 METHODOLOGY
Steps involved in implementation :

Step 1: Image acquisition

Image acquisition is the process of capturing the image from the input source. This captured image will be saved
in an individual folder referred to as a Testing folder. The datasets in this folder are named testing datasets.
Step 2:Image pre-processing
This is a technique used for improving the quality of the image and eliminating the noises in the image. The
captured images are processed before they are implemented in other steps.
Step 3:Image segmentation
Image segmentation is used for converting digital images into multiple parts consisting of similar identities. This
is used for leaf identification and boundary line identification in the image. In our proposed system, the
segmentation step consists of cropping, masking, and contouring the image.
Step 4: Feature extraction
Features are nothing but information that is extracted from an image. They are the real-valued
vector numbers that describe an image at high-level perspective.

 METHODOLOGY
Step 5:Classification
The feature vectors calculated in the feature extraction, becomes the classifier input. Classifiers like K-Nearest
Neighbour, Support Vector Machine and Naïve Bayes are used for the computation purpose. Each training
feature vectors are compared with the test feature vectors. The difference is calculated between healthy and
nutrient deficient image featured vectors. The test image is classified to certain class (healthy or deficient) which
contains the least difference.
