Plant Classification Using Leaf Images Processing

Abstract

Plant exists everywhere. The plants are very much useful in balancing the environment. Usage of plants in the field of medical is wide developing. Rather than classifying plants based on molecules and biological methods,classification of plants based on leaf is found to be the first step. Our project aims at developing an image-based classification of plants with high accuracy. The features of the leaf such as, area, perimeter, width, height, aspect ratio, etc., are extracted, PCA is applied for dimensionality reduction and classified using SVM classifier.
