PLANT CLASSIFICATION BASED ON LEAF EDGES AND LEAF MORPHOLOGICAL VEINS USING WAVELET CONVOLUTIONAL NEURAL NETWORK

The leaf is one of the plant organs, contains chlorophyll, and functions as a catcher of energy from sunlight which is used for photosynthesis. Perfect leaves are composed of three parts, namely midrib, stalk, and leaf blade. The way to identify the type of plant is to look at the shape of the leaf edges. The shape, color, and texture of a plant's leaf margins may influence its leaf veins, which in this vein morphology carry information useful for plant classification when shape, color, and texture are not noticeable. Humans, on the other hand, may fail to recognize this feature because they prefer to see plants solely based on leaf form rather than leaf margins and veins. This research uses the Wavelet method to denoise existing images in the dataset and the Convolutional Neural Network classifies through images. The results obtained using the Wavelet Convolutional Neural Network method are equal to 97.13%.&nbsp

Identification of Plant Types by Leaf Textures Based on the Backpropagation Neural Network

The number of species of plants or flora in Indonesia is abundant. The wealth of Indonesia's flora species is not to be doubted. Almost every region in Indonesia has one or some distinctive plant(s) which may not exist in other countries. In enhancing the potential diversity of tropical plant resources, good management and utilization of biodiversity is required. Based on such diversity, plant classification becomes a challenge to do. The most common way to recognize between one plant and another is to identify the leaf of each plant. Leaf-based classification is an alternative and the most effective way to do because leaves will exist all the time, while fruits and flowers may only exist at any given time. In this study, the researchers will identify plants based on the textures of the leaves. Leaf feature extraction is done by calculating the area value, perimeter, and additional features of leaf images such as shape roundness and slenderness. The results of the extraction will then be selected for training by using the backpropagation neural network. The result of the training (the formation of the training set) will be calculated to produce the value of recognition accuracy with which the feature value of the dataset of the leaf images is then to be matched. The result of the identification of plant species based on leaf texture characteristics is expected to accelerate the process of plant classification based on the characteristics of the leaves

WATERMELON PLANT CLASSIFICATION BASED ON SHAPE AND TEXTURE FEATURE LEAF USING SUPPORT VECTOR MACHINE (SVM)

Nowadays, some efforts are used to increase results of agriculture production. One of those is utilizing herbisides to exterminate the weeds. However, there are some of the weeds having resemblance with the plant, with the result that we need to classify the plant and the weeds before utilizing herbisides as an extermination weeds. In this paper, we use watermelon plant classification as case study. The recognition of the plant owned by the similarity of leaves of these plants are divided into three phases. At the first phase we perform preprocessing to convert the RGB image into a grayscale images. Further, the grayscale images are changed into segmentation of edge detection using Canny operator. In the second, we use feature extraction to retrieve important informations for the recognition of those leaves. The last phase we classify that leaves as watermelon plants or weeds using Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithm. The results of early trials indicate that this method has an accuracy of 91,3%.

Feature decision-making ant colony optimization system for an automated recognition of plant species

In the present paper, an expert system for automatic recognition of different plant species through their leaf images is investigated by employing the ant colony optimization (ACO) as a feature decision-making algorithm. The ACO algorithm is employed to investigate inside the feature search space in order to obtain the best discriminant features for the recognition of individual species. In order to establish a feature search space, a set of feasible characteristics such as shape, morphology, texture and color are extracted from the leaf images. The selected features are used by support vector machine (SVM) to classify the species. The efficiency of the system was tested on around 2050 leaf images collected from two different plant databases, FCA and Flavia. The results of the study achieved an average accuracy of 95.53% from the ACO-based approach, confirming the potentials of using the proposed system for an automatic classification of various plant species

Sabanci-Okan system at ImageClef 2011: plant identication task

We describe our participation in the plant identication task of ImageClef 2011. Our approach employs a variety of texture, shape as well as color descriptors. Due to the morphometric properties of plants, mathematical morphology has been advocated as the main methodology for texture characterization, supported by a multitude of contour-based shape and color features. We submitted a single run, where the focus has been almost exclusively on scan and scan-like images, due primarily to lack of time. Moreover, special care has been taken to obtain a fully automatic system, operating only on image data. While our photo results are low, we consider our submission successful, since besides being our rst attempt, our accuracy is the highest when considering the average of the scan and scan-like results, upon which we had concentrated our eorts

A Model of Plant Identification System Using GLCM, Lacunarity And Shen Features

Recently, many approaches have been introduced by several researchers to identify plants. Now, applications of texture, shape, color and vein features are common practices. However, there are many possibilities of methods can be developed to improve the performance of such identification systems. Therefore, several experiments had been conducted in this research. As a result, a new novel approach by using combination of Gray-Level Co-occurrence Matrix, lacunarity and Shen features and a Bayesian classifier gives a better result compared to other plant identification systems. For comparison, this research used two kinds of several datasets that were usually used for testing the performance of each plant identification system. The results show that the system gives an accuracy rate of 97.19% when using the Flavia dataset and 95.00% when using the Foliage dataset and outperforms other approaches.Comment: 10 page

Plant image retrieval using color, shape and texture features

We present a content-based image retrieval system for plant image retrieval, intended especially for the house plant identification problem. A plant image consists of a collection of overlapping leaves and possibly flowers, which makes the problem challenging.We studied the suitability of various well-known color, shape and texture features for this problem, as well as introducing some new texture matching techniques and shape features. Feature extraction is applied after segmenting the plant region from the background using the max-flow min-cut technique. Results on a database of 380 plant images belonging to 78 different types of plants show promise of the proposed new techniques and the overall system: in 55% of the queries, the correct plant image is retrieved among the top-15 results. Furthermore, the accuracy goes up to 73% when a 132-image subset of well-segmented plant images are considered
