Leaf Classification Using Shape, Color, and Texture Features
This is an incremental improvement for plant identification, addressing a domain-specific problem.
The paper tackled plant leaf classification by incorporating shape, vein, color, and texture features, achieving an average accuracy of 93.75% on the Flavia dataset with 32 plant types, outperforming the original work.
Several methods to identify plants have been proposed by several researchers. Commonly, the methods did not capture color information, because color was not recognized as an important aspect to the identification. In this research, shape and vein, color, and texture features were incorporated to classify a leaf. In this case, a neural network called Probabilistic Neural network (PNN) was used as a classifier. The experimental result shows that the method for classification gives average accuracy of 93.75% when it was tested on Flavia dataset, that contains 32 kinds of plant leaves. It means that the method gives better performance compared to the original work.
