๐ŸŒฟ Research Focus

Research sits at the intersection of Computer Vision and Precision Agriculture, specifically addressing the challenge of limited data in plant pathology. Developing generative frameworks for synthetic imagery synthesis โ€” creating high-fidelity datasets modelling plant diseases at varying severity stages. Leveraging synthetic samples to enhance diagnostic accuracy of deep learning models for robust, scalable automated disease detection in real-world agricultural settings.
