Plant identification using leaf shapes—A pattern counting approach

作者:

Highlights:

• Doing statistics over learned shape patterns, rather than matching contour points.

• The proposed method can classify both simple leaves and compound leaves.

• The learned shape patterns measure leaf shapes from different aspects.

• We do NOT require any pre-processing of the leaf contours, i.e. petioles removal.

• Experiments on public datasets show the effectiveness of the proposed method.
