Palynology is a botanical discipline devoted to the study of pollen and spores [1], focusing mainly on the analysis of the external morphology that presents structural patterns different from those of the variations in the exine, which is the external wall of the pollen grains. The study and microscopic analysis of its symmetry, wall opening, contour, shape, size, etc., have a taxonomic value and allows distinguishing different taxa at different levels: family, genera, species. The study of pollen grains is a difficult task, in its different phases, from small microscopic samples. The analysis of these is an important source of information for many scientific and industrial applications, making palynology a valuable tool for various areas of knowledge [1]. In palynology, neural networks have been successfully applied for the classification of pollen grains. For this purpose, RPROP was selected as a neural network training algorithm for the classification of a previously reported dataset.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
