Unveiling Algorithm Classification Excellence: Exploring Calendula and Coreopsis Flower Datasets with Varied Segmentation Techniques

Abstract

This investigation constitutes a noteworthy progression in the advancement of more sophisticated and precise botanical image analysis. The primary objective of this inquiry is to confront the difficulties associated with the categorization of Calendula and Coreopsis flowers through the application of diverse segmentation techniques and classification algorithms. In this experiment, we employed the Canny edge detection, thresholding, mean shift, and Otsu methods to process flower images before applying Naïve Bayes, K-Nearest Neighbors, Support Vector Machine, and Decision Tree algorithms for classification. Enhanced comprehension of the integration of distinct segmentation techniques with varied classification algorithms is attained. We scrutinized accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 measure across diverse segmentation scenarios to assess the efficacy of these algorithms. Our principal discoveries consistently affirm that the Decision Tree algorithm attains the utmost accuracy levels in flower classification when coupled with mean shift segmentation, underscoring its noteworthy proficiency in this endeavor. The pivotal role of an optimal amalgamation of segmentation techniques and classification algorithms in augmenting flower recognition is underscored, thereby charting the course for subsequent investigations into the integration of diverse segmentation methods with advanced classification algorithms. This study's outcomes wield a favorable influence on the domain of botany and image analysis at large, offering support to researchers and scientists in achieving a more precise understanding and classification of plant species.
