Abstract

Recognizing plant leaves has so far been an important and difficult task. This paper introduces a method of recognizing leaf images based on shape features using a hypersphere classifier. Firstly, we apply image segmentation to the leaf images. Then we extract eight geometric features including rectangularity, circularity, eccentricity, etc, and seven moment invariants for classification. Finally we propose using a moving center hypersphere classifier to address these shape features. As a result there are more than 20 classes of plant leaves successfully classified. The average correct recognition rate is up to 92.2 percent.
