Research summary
AI-generated

Dharmendra Saraswat's work applies computer vision and deep learning to agricultural problems, especially detecting and identifying weeds and plant diseases (like corn tar spot) from images taken in fields or under controlled conditions. The research also extends to broader agricultural and water-resource questions, including climate change impacts on irrigation, evapotranspiration, and drought prediction using machine learning. Overall, this is applied engineering research aimed at building practical tools such as smart weed identification systems, disease severity estimators, and decision-support datasets for farmers and researchers.
