Context

An early step in Haben's computer-vision path, before the shift toward efficiency- and language-focused AI work.

Problem

Early identification of plant disease in greenhouse settings typically depends on manual inspection, which is slow and inconsistent at scale.

Why it matters

Automated visual monitoring can catch disease earlier and more consistently than periodic manual checks, reducing crop loss.

Constraints

  • Limited labeled image data across disease categories
  • Visual similarity between early-stage disease symptoms and healthy variation

Approach

A convolutional neural network was trained to classify leaf images into healthy vs. disease categories, framed as a standard supervised image-classification pipeline.

Experiments

  • Baseline CNN architecture trained and evaluated on a labeled leaf-image dataset

Results

  • Established a working classification baseline for greenhouse monitoring use cases

Lessons

  • This project was an early foundation for the applied computer-vision thinking that later shaped the jump-estimation work
