We present an overview of the QUT plant classification system submitted to LifeCLEF 2014. This system uses generic features extracted from a convolutional neural network previously used to perform general object classification. We examine the effectiveness of these features to perform plant classification when used in combination with an extremely randomised forest. Using this system, with mini...

This article presents a novel method for classification of plants using their leaves. Most plant species have unique leaves which differ from each other by characteristics such as the shape, colour, texture and the margin. The method introduced in this study proposes to use two of these features: the shape and the texture. The shape-based method will extract the contour signature from every lea...

There are a lot of techniques relevant for the purpose automated leaf recognition for plant classification. Many algorithms have been introduced in the past decade and achieved good performance. Efforts have focused upon many other fields but properties of features have not been well investigated. A group of features is selected in advance but important feature properties are not well used to f...

The plants have been used by human beings since ages for satisfying his general needs for food, shelter and medicinal values. Many of the plant species are on the verge of extinction, therefore, in order to preserve them for future, naming convention has a role to play. Many of the plant species are yet unknown and due to climatic changes and human factors, the plant species are dying out. Ther...

Nature which consists of so many variabilities of living components of the environment possesses useful, harmful and inactive chemical constituents. The classification based on these chemical constituents is known as chemotaxonomy. All the living components of the environment produce secondary metabolites that are derived from primary metabolites. The chemical structure of the secondary metabol...

Leaves provide an important source of data for research in comparative plant biology. This paper presents a method for comparing and classifying plants based on leaf texture. Joint distributions for the responses from applying different scales of the Gabor filter are calculated. The difference between leaf textures is calculated by the Jeffreydivergence measure of corresponding distributions. T...

ImageCLEF’s plant identification task provides a testbed for the system-oriented evaluation of tree species identification based on leaf images. The aim is to investigate image retrieval approaches in the context of crowdsourced images of leaves collected in a collaborative manner. This paper presents an overview of the resources and assessments of the plant identification task at ImageCLEF 201...

Classification of plants according to their echoes is an elementary component of bat behavior that plays an important role in spatial orientation and food acquisition. Vegetation echoes are, however, highly complex stochastic signals: from an acoustical point of view, a plant can be thought of as a three-dimensional array of leaves reflecting the emitted bat call. The received echo is therefore...

Modern communication and sensor technology coupled with powerful pattern recognition algorithms for information extraction and classification allow the development and use of integrated systems to tackle environmental problems. This integration is particularly promising for applications in crop farming, where such systems can help to control growth and improve yields while harmful environmental...

Human has a duty to preserve the nature. One of the examples is preserving the ornamental plant. Huge economic value of plant trading, escalating esthetical value of one space, and medicine efficacy that contained in a plant are some positive values from this plant. However, only few people know about its medicine efficacy. Considering the easiness to obtain and the medicine efficacy, this plan...
