Paddynet: An organized dataset of paddy leaves for a smart fertilizer recommendation system

The dataset of Leaf Color Chart (PaddyNet) is publicly unavailable. As far as the author's knowledge, this is the first dataset about paddy leaves based on LCC. This dataset has been generated by collecting images from a particular location such as Sajiali, Dogachia and Shyamnagar at Jashore, Bangladesh. This dataset contains 4 categories of Aman paddy leaves. The leaf images were captured by smart phones. There are 560 images of Aman paddy leaves. The data collection procedure was carried out according to the guidelines of Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute (BARI). We meticulously categorized the entire dataset with regard to the LCC level and validated the data with the assistance of domain specialists. Hence, the images are analyzed and categorized with standards. The dataset is utilized for recognizing Leaf Color Chart level which will help of farmers recommending nitrogen fertilizer in their paddy fields.
