🌱TensorFlow Extended Pipeline Plant Disease Detection🌱

This project utilizes TensorFlow Extended (TFX) to implement a machine learning pipeline for detecting plant diseases. The pipeline includes data ingestion, preprocessing, model training, evaluation, and serving. It aims to provide a scalable and efficient solution for plant disease detection, which is crucial for enhancing crop production and management.

Dataset

The dataset used in this project is New Plant Diseases, which consists of leaf images of various plants, including healthy and diseased samples. The dataset includes:

• Number of Classes: 38 (including healthy and diseased conditions)
• Total Images: Approximately 87,000
• Image Size: 256x256 pixels
• Split: 80/20

Model

I have fined tuned a convolutional neural network (CNN) model for plant disease detection. The model architecture is designed to extract and learn from the visual patterns of plant leaf images effectively.

Model Features:

• Input Size: 256x256 pixels
• Layers: Customized layers including convolutional, pooling, and dense layers
• Output: Classification/Type of Disease

TensorFlow Components

The project leverages several TensorFlow Extended (TFX) components to streamline the machine learning pipeline:

• ExampleGen: Ingests and imports data into the TFX pipeline.
• StatisticsGen: Computes statistics for data analysis and validation.
• SchemaGen: Infers a schema for the data.
• ExampleValidator: Identifies and highlights anomalies and missing values in the dataset.
• Transform: Performs feature engineering on the dataset.
• Trainer: Trains the model using TensorFlow.
• Evaluator: Evaluates the trained model against a test set.
• Pusher: Deploys the model to a production environment.

Demo

This section details how to interact with the project through a web interface or API, showcasing the detection capabilities in real-time.
