Please explain your Project briefly in a few sentences. What inspired you to work on this project?
PlantD is an agricultural project featuring a rover equipped with a camera designed to transform farming methods. The rover captures plant images, which are then analysed by machine learning models to predict plant leaf diseases accurately. This information, along with corresponding images, is sent to a database. A user-friendly mobile app complements the rover's functionality by swiftly delivering disease predictions and images to end-users. This technology holds the potential to enhance crop yield and enable timely disease management, offering valuable support to farmers.
