Coffee plant is a plant whose seeds called coffee beans are grown in all over the world particularly in Ethiopia. The research focuses on three major type of coffee disease which occurs on the leave part of a coffee plant, these are Coffee Leaf Rust (CLR), Coffee Berry Disease (CBD), and Coffee Wilt Disease (CWD). The aim of this paper is recognition of the three types of coffee disease using imaging and machine learning techniques. The image of Coffee plant diseases were taken from the regions of Ethiopia where more coffee is produced i.e. Southern Nations, Nationalities, and Peoples, Jimma and Zegie. In this paper artificial neural network (ANN), k-Nearest Neighbours (KNN), Naïve and a hybrid of self organizing map (SOM) and Radial basis function (RBF) are used. We conduct experiment for each group of feature set in order to get a highly correlated and the more representing features. The total number of data sets is 9100. From the total of 9100, 70% were used for training and the remaining 30% were used for testing. . In general, the overall result showed that color features represents more than texture features regarding recognition of coffee plant diseases and the performance of combination of RBF (Radial basis function) and SOM (Self organizing map) is 90.07%.
