Abstract
Essentially, visual identification of plant health is vital for research in agriculture and medicinal plants for important crops, both in terms of economics and pharmacology, such as betel leaves. The strong integration of AI-based methods in precision agriculture and herbal medicine quality control makes these systems effective only when trained on well-structured, diversified datasets.The plant betel leaf (Piper betle) is cultivated throughout the world for its medicinal, cultural, and economic importance, but improper classification and quality assessment of this plant occur because of environmental conditions and variations in handling. To solve this problem, we hereby present the Betel Leaf Dataset, which is systematically curated, consisting of 1,800 high-resolution images (1080 × 1080 pixels) exhibiting the three different conditions of betel leaves: Healthy (Fresh), Diseased, and Dried. The dataset was collected from Veer, Taluka-Purandar, Pune, India, under both natural and controlled conditions so that different appearances could be ensured. Categories include images that have been taken under varied light, backgrounds, and orientations, which comprehensively can cover all real variations in betel leaves. Hence, this systematically collected, standardized, and accessible dataset can enhance agricultural research in leaf classification studies and quality assessment techniques to facilitate better documentation and understanding of betel leaf characteristics. This dataset can be utilized in machine learning applications for plant disease detection, precision agriculture, and automated quality control systems.
