Leaf Shape Extraction For Plant Classification

This research paper presents the leaf shape extraction for plant classification. Leaves are very important component of the plant which actually identifies and classify the plants. Classification of the plant by their leaf biometric features is commonly performed task of trained botanist and taxonomist. To perform this task they need to perform various set of operations. Because of this the task of classification of plants manually is time consuming. There are many biometric features of leaves of the plants for classification. Here the shape of leaves of the plant species are extracted for plant classification. In this paper, various operators are studied for the leaf extraction from images by using the image processing techniques.
