About

Green Guardian is a full-stack web application that uses a custom-trained PyTorch model to identify plant diseases from leaf photographs. The model was trained on the PlantVillage dataset and classifies 15 conditions across three plant types — tomato, potato, and bell pepper — returning real-time predictions with confidence levels.

What It Does

• Upload a .jpg, .jpeg, or .png leaf photo and receive an instant diagnosis
• View confidence scores, disease descriptions, and step-by-step treatment recommendations
• Track recent scans in-session with a scan history panel
• Responsive two-panel layout with a clean, minimal UI

Tech Stack

Layer	Technology
Frontend	Next.js 15, React 19, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS 4
Backend	FastAPI, Mangum (AWS Lambda adapter)
ML Model	PyTorch, TorchVision (ResNet-based classifier)
Dataset	PlantVillage — 15 classes
Infrastructure	AWS Lambda, ECR, S3, CloudFront
CI/CD	GitHub Actions (auto-deploy on push to main)

Architecture

User → CloudFront → S3 (static Next.js export)
                        ↓
              Upload image via /predict
                        ↓
              API Gateway → Lambda (Docker)
                        ↓
              FastAPI → PyTorch model → response

The frontend is a statically exported Next.js app hosted on S3 behind CloudFront. The backend runs as a Dockerized FastAPI app on AWS Lambda, with the PyTorch model bundled in the container image via ECR.

Supported Classifications

Plant	Conditions
Tomato	Bacterial Spot, Early Blight, Late Blight, Leaf Mold, Septoria Leaf Spot, Spider Mites, Target Spot, Yellow Leaf Curl Virus, Mosaic Virus, Healthy
Potato	Early Blight, Late Blight, Healthy
Bell Pepper	Bacterial Spot, Healthy

Run Locally

Prerequisites

• Python 3.9+
• Node.js 20+
• model.pt in backend/model/ (train with python train.py or provide your own)

Backend

git clone https://github.com/kameron-ctrl/GreenGuardian
cd GreenGuardian/backend

python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

uvicorn main:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000

The API will be available at http://localhost:8000. Test with GET / for a health check or POST /predict with a multipart file upload.

Web App

cd web
npm install
npm run dev

Open http://localhost:3000. By default the app points to the production API. To use your local backend, create a .env.local file in the web/ directory:

NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL=http://localhost:8000

Deployment

Deployment is fully automated via GitHub Actions. Pushing to main triggers the workflow in .github/workflows/deploy.yml, which:

1. Detects changes — only rebuilds what changed (web/ or backend/)
2. Backend — builds a Docker image, pushes to ECR, and updates the Lambda function
3. Frontend — runs next build, syncs the static export to S3, and invalidates the CloudFront cache

Required GitHub Secrets: AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY, AWS_REGION, ECR_REPOSITORY, LAMBDA_FUNCTION_NAME, S3_BUCKET_NAME, CLOUDFRONT_DISTRIBUTION_ID
