Abstract: Diagnosis is given top priority in terms of farm resource allocation, because it directly affects the GDP of the country. Crop analysis at an early stage is important for verifying the efficient crop output. Computer vision has a number of intriguing and demanding concerns, including disease detection. After China, India is the world’s second-largest creator of wheat. However, there exist algorithms that can accurately identify the most prevalent illnesses of wheat leaves. To help farmers keep track on a large area of wheat plantation, leaf image and data processing techniques have recently been deployed extensively and in pricey systems. In this study, a hybrid pre-processing practice is used to remove undesired distortions while simultaneously enhancing the images. Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) is used to segment the affected areas from the pre-processed images. The data is then incorporated into a disease classification model using a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). It was tested using Kaggle data and several metrics to see how efficient the suggested approach was. This study demonstrates that the traditional Long-Short Term Memory (LSTM) technique achieved 91.94% accuracy on the input images, but the hybrid pre-processing model with CNN achieved 95.06 percent accuracy.
