Plant or crop diseases cause reduction of quality and quantity of the production; therefore detection and classification of these diseases are very necessary. There are many types of diseases that infect £¿tomato plant like (bacterial spot, late blight, sartorial leaf £¿spot, tomato mosaic and yellow curved). Early detection of plant diseases increases production and improves its quality. Currently, intelligent £¿approaches have been widely used to detect and classify these £¿diseases. This approach helps the farmers to identify the types£¿ of diseases that infect crop. The main object of the current work is £¿to apply a modern technique to identify and classify the £¿disease. Intelligent technique is based on using convolution £¿neural network (CNN) which is a part of machine learning to £¿obtain an early detection about the situation of plants. CNN £¿method depends on feature extraction (such as color, leaves £¿edge, etc.) from input image and on this basis the decision of £¿classification is done. A Matlab m-file has been used to build £¿the CNN structure. A dataset obtained from plant village has £¿been used for training the network (CNN). The suggested £¿neural network has been applied to classify six types of tomato £¿leaves situation (one healthy and five types of leave plant £¿diseases). The results show that the convolution neural £¿network (CNN) has achieved a classification accuracy £¿£¿of 96.43%. Real images are used to validate the ability of £¿suggested CNN technique for detection and classification, and obtained using a 5-megapixel camera from a real £¿farm because most common diseases which infect the planet are similar. %K Convolution Neural Network (CNN) %K Tomato Plant Leaf Diseases %K Machine Learning %K Early Detection %U http://www.oalib.com/paper/5431733
