Abstract

In this paper, it’s described an algorithm for plants identification based on leaves physical features using image processing techniques and the feed forward neural network specialized on patterns recognition. As fundamental step, the sobel operator is used to highlight the leaves boundaries and veins. After obtaining those features, the new image is transfer to the frequency space through the wavelet transform as basis for the main vector of every sample. Finally, the results are evaluated according to percentage of samples correctly identified. The algorithm is adapted to a visual interface that allows the user to observe the steps of the image processing and get the leaf information.
