Description
The identification of plants is very important component of workflows in plant ecological research. Therefore, in this work, we are developing a novel automatic leaf recognition for plant classification. Unlike the existing techniques, our approach is efficient, fast, and simple. The proposed method is based on machine vision strategy that employs two main processing stages: 1) the Bag of Feature (BoF) approach, and 2) a decision-making model based on multiclass Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier. The BoF is utilized for extracting the features from representative images. First, to provides excellent scale invariance break up the image into sub-regions by using speeded up robust features (SURF) detector. Then, compute the histogram of local detected features inside each sub-region. After that to create the visual words and to reduce the number of features, the K-means clustering approach is applied. The final sets of features are fed to a decision-making model based SVM classifier for automatic plant identification. Experimental results on several publicly available leaf datasets demonstrate that the effectiveness of the proposed method for plant classification compared to a set of state-of-the-art methods.
