AI-SMART PLANT HEALTH MONITORING SYSTEM USING DEEP LEARNING
The increasing demand for food production has made efficient plant health monitoring a critical aspect of modern agriculture. Traditional methods rely on manual inspection, which is time-consuming and often inaccurate. This paper proposes an AI-based smart plant health monitoring system that integrates Internet of Things (IoT) sensors with deep learning techniques to enable real-time monitoring and early detection of plant diseases. Environmental parameters such as temperature, humidity, and soil moisture are continuously collected using IoT devices, while leaf images are analyzed using a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model for accurate disease classification
