Survey on leaf recognization and classification

Abstract

There are countless plant species available globally. To manage massive content, development of a fast and effective categorization methods has turned into a territory of dynamic research. As trees and plants are very important to ecology, accurate Identification and classification becomes necessary. Classification procedure is carried out through number of sub procedures. An identification or Classification issue is managed by mapping a input data with one of the unique classes. In this procedure, at first, database of a leaf images is created, that comprises of images of test leaf with their equivalent plant information. Essential features are extracted using image processing techniques. The features have to be stable in order to make the identification system robust. Subsequently the plant/leaf is recognized using machine learning techniques. In this paper a survey is presented on the various types of leaf identification process.
