| Summary: | Maintaining optimal yield plays a crucial role in the prosperity of agriculture and in turn the economy of the country. One way to optimize this yield is by early and accurate detection and diagnosis of crop diseases. Traditional methods that involve manual inspection or the like tend to be tedious and often inaccurate. Hence the use of machine learning and convolutional neural networks have proven to be of great advantage in terms of accuracy, reliability, ease of implementation etc. This paper explores various deep learning models such as AlexNet, ResNet, Swin Transformer, Vgg-16, vit model for plant leaf disease detection and classification on a dataset of mango leaves and compares aspects such as accuracy and loss. Further the models have been combined using feature fusion, and their accuracies compared. Finally, a combination of ResNet and AlexNet has been proposed with an impressive accuracy of 99.97%. Further, Grad-CAM (Gradient-weighted Class Activation Mapping) has been implemented to highlight important regions in the leaf images which improves visualization. This can potentially provide an accurate identification and classification of plant diseases based on leaf images.
