Detection of Unhealthy Region of plant leaves using Neural Network

A leaf is an organ of vascular plant and is the principal lateral appendage of the stem. Each leaf has a set of features that differentiate it from the other leaves, such as margin and shape. This work proposes a comparison of supervised plant leaves classification using different approaches, based on different representations of these leaves, and the chosen algorithm. Beginning with the representation of leaves, we presented leaves by a fine-scale margin feature histogram, by a Centroid Contour Distance Curve shape signature, or by an interior texture feature histogram in 64 element vector for each one, after we tried different combination among these features to optimize results. We classified the obtained vectors. Then we evaluate the classification using cross validation. The obtained results are very interesting and show the importance of each feature. The classification of plant leaf images with biometric features. Traditionally, the trained taxonomic perform this process by following various tasks. The taxonomic usually classify the plants based on flowering and associative phenomenon. It was found that this process was time consuming and difficult. The biometric features of plants leaf like venation make this classification easy. Leaf biometric feature are analyzed using computer based method like morphological feature analysis and artificial neural network and Naive bayes based classifier. KNN classification model take input as the leaf venation morphological feature and classify them into four different species. The result of this classification based on leaf venation is achieved 96.53% accuracy in the training of the model for classification of leaves provide the 91% accuracy in testing to classify the leaf images.
