# 🌱 Plant Seedlings Classification — AI for Smarter Agriculture  

## 🧩 Overview  
Agriculture remains one of the most vital yet labor-intensive industries.  
Farmers and agronomists often spend countless hours identifying seedlings, weeds, and crop health manually.  
This model leverages **Deep Learning and Computer Vision** to automatically recognize plant species from seedling images —  
helping accelerate early-stage crop monitoring and enabling precision agriculture.

## 🤖 Model Details  
- **Model Type:** CNN-based Image Classifier  
- **Framework:** TensorFlow / Keras  
- **Dataset:** Plant Seedlings Dataset (12 plant categories)  
- **Input:** RGB image of a seedling  
- **Output:** Predicted plant species label

## 🌾 Why It Matters  
✅ Reduces manual effort in plant identification  
✅ Boosts accuracy and consistency in seedling detection  
✅ Supports sustainable, data-driven agriculture  
✅ Enables automation in large-scale farming and greenhouse monitoring

## 🚀 Example Usage  
```python
from tensorflow.keras.models import load_model
from tensorflow.keras.preprocessing import image
import numpy as np

model = load_model("plant_seedlings_model.h5")

img = image.load_img("seedling.jpg", target_size=(128, 128))
x = image.img_to_array(img)
x = np.expand_dims(x, axis=0) / 255.0

pred = np.argmax(model.predict(x), axis=1)
print("Predicted plant category:", pred)
