🥔 Potato Disease Classification System using Deep Learning

---

📌 Project Overview

The Potato Disease Classification System is an AI-powered agricultural solution developed using Deep Learning and Computer Vision technologies.

This project automatically detects and classifies potato leaf diseases from uploaded images, helping farmers and agricultural researchers identify plant diseases quickly and accurately.

The system can classify:

• 🟢 Healthy Potato Leaves
• 🟠 Early Blight Disease
• 🔴 Late Blight Disease

The project combines:

• A CNN-based Deep Learning Model
• A FastAPI Backend
• A modern React.js Frontend
• Image processing and prediction APIs

This solution demonstrates the practical application of Artificial Intelligence in Smart Agriculture and Precision Farming.
