The main objectives of this research is to develop a prototype system for detect the paddy disease which are Paddy Blast Disease, Brown Spot Disease, Narrow Brown Spot Disease. This paper concentrate on the image processing techniques used to enhance the quality of the image and neural network technique to classify the paddy disease. The methodology involves image acquisition, pre-processing and segmentation, analysis and classification of the paddy disease. All the paddy sample will be passing through the RGB calculation before it proceed to the binary conversion. If the sample is in the range of normal paddy RGB, then it is automatically classify as type 4 which is Normal. Then, all the segmented paddy disease sample will be convert into the binary data in excel file before proceed through the neural network for training and testing. Consequently, by employing the neural network technique, the paddy diseases are recognized about 92.5 percent accuracy rates. This prototype has a very great potential to be further improved in the future.
