Leaf Features Extraction and Recognition Approaches to Classify Plant

Abstract

Plant classification based on leaf identification is becoming a popular trend. Each leaf carries substantial information that can be used to identify and classify the origin or the type of plant. In medical perspective, images have been used by doctors to diagnose diseases and this method has been proven reliable for years. Using the same method as doctors, researchers try to simulate the same principle to recognise a plant using high quality leaf images and complex mathematical formulae for computers to decide the origin and type of plants. The experiments have yielded many success stories in the lab, but some approaches have failed miserably when tested in the real world. This happens because researchers may have ignored the facts that the real world sampling may not have the luxury and complacency as what they may have in the lab. What this study intends to deliver is the ideal case approach in plant classification and recognition that not only applicable in the real world, but also acceptable in the lab. The consequence from this study is to introducing more external factors for consideration when experimenting real world sampling for leaf recognition and classification does this.

A robust pest identification system using morphological analysis in neural networks

“…Artificial neural networks (ANN) are versatile classifiers, with applications in multiple fields [13]. The advantage the ANNs have over other classifiers, is its ability to extract all the features from an object on its own i.e.…”

Automatic Identification of Ficus deltoidea Jack (Moraceae) Varieties Based on Leaf

“…Finally, the identification or commonly known as classification process will look up into a database to find the similarity of the query leaf image. According to Ab Jabal et al (2013), two important consideration has to be critically made in developing plant species identification which are in features extraction and classification phase. Other phase considered as less important because it is reflected on image acquisition technique.…”

Adaptive Ant Colony Optimization on Mango Classification Using K-Nearest Neighbor and Support Vector Machine

“…The process of mango classification is done by identifying based on the image of mango plant leaves. The leaves are one part of the plant that is often used to classify the types of plants (Jabal, Mohamad, Suhardi, Salehuddin, & Illiasak, 2013). In this way, the leaf pattern recognition steps can be recognized by recognizing the structural characteristics of the leaves such as the shape and texture of the bone leaf structure.…”
