Weeds pose a major challenge to the sustainability of agricultural production systems, causing significant crop yield, economic and environmental losses. Chemical weed control tactics play a major role in modern weed management, maintaining the productivity of diverse cropping systems, reducing yield losses and facilitating conservation agriculture. However, the over-reliance on chemical weed control has led to shifts in weed communities in agroecosystems which are now becoming dominated by high competitors and herbicide resistance. Thus, weed scientists and practitioners are urged to develop and incorporate innovative and feasible integrated weed management (IWM) systems that can reduce weed infestations and environmental impacts.

This book offers a comprehensive exploration of the intersection between advanced technology and agricultural sustainability. With a focus on leveraging machine vision techniques for the early detection and management of plant diseases, this book serves as a vital resource for researchers, practitioners, and stakeholders in the agricultural sector. The book begins by providing an overview of the challenges posed by plant diseases to global food security and agricultural sustainability. It highlights the limitations of traditional disease detection methods and underscores the need for innovative approaches that can offer timely and accurate diagnosis. Through a systematic examination of machine vision principles and methodologies, the book delves into the various stages of disease detection, from image acquisition to feature extraction and classification. Key concepts such as image preprocessing, feature selection, and machine learning algorithms are discussed in detail, with emphasis on their practical implementation in real-world scenarios. Moreover, the book explores the potential of machine vision to contribute to sustainable agriculture practices.

This book offers an in-depth exploration of federated learning (FL), a groundbreaking approach that facilitates collaborative data analysis while ensuring patient privacy and data security. As healthcare systems worldwide generate vast amounts of data, the challenge lies in harnessing this information without compromising confidentiality. Federated learning addresses this by allowing multiple institutions to collaborate on machine learning models without sharing sensitive data. In this context, the authors delve into the foundational principles of FL, illustrating how it enables the aggregation of decentralized data to improve diagnostic accuracy, develop personalized treatment plans, and en...
