Abstract: Automatic detection of citrus leaves disease is very much essential for the better productivity of citrus. Citrus leaves are affected by bacteria, fungus and virus respectively. Farmer detects the diseases of the plant using laboratory, naked eyes or using expert’s view. The rural farmers often face difficulties to detect these diseases due to the non availability of the laboratories in their area. Here in this paper, a computer automation system is proposed to detect the diseases of citrus leaves on an early stage. Citrus leaves images are captured using Smartphone. Captured images are used to extract the different features of the citrus leaves samples using Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix. Finally, citrus greening and citrus CTV images are classified from citrus healthy images using Gaussian kernel based support vector machine. Accuracy of the kernel is evaluated for the different values of Gamma parameter of kernel. The Gaussian kernel gives maximum accuracy (95.5%) with Gamma value 1.
