Capstone Project
GreenGuard: Intelligent Plant Disease Diagnosis Web App
An end-to-end computer vision web application designed to assist farmers and plant enthusiasts. Users can upload a photo of a sick plant leaf directly through their web browser. Behind the scenes, the application utilizes a fine-tuned Transfer Learning model to analyze the visual patterns, instantly diagnose the specific disease, and provide actionable insights.
Core Project Goal
Apply all the skills you've learned to build a production-ready application from scratch. This project serves as your portfolio piece.
Key Features:
- Interactive Image Upload UI: A clean, user-friendly interface built with Streamlit that supports drag-and-drop image uploads directly from a computer or mobile phone.
- Real-Time AI Inference: Utilizes a lightweight, optimized CNN model (like MobileNetV2) to process the image and return a diagnosis in seconds without heavy server load.
- Confidence Scoring Dashboard: Visually displays the model's prediction probability (e.g., "95% confident this is Tomato Late Blight") using interactive progress bars or charts.
- Automated Treatment Recommendations: Once a disease is identified, the app queries a predefined dictionary to output immediate, practical treatment suggestions or preventive care steps.
