چکیده
In this paper, an efficient computer-aided plant species identification (CAPSI) approach is proposed, which is based on plant leaf images using a shape matching technique. Firstly, a Douglas Á Peucker approximation algorithm is adopted to the original leaf shapes and a new shape representation is used to form the sequence of invariant attributes. Then a modified dynamic programming (MDP) algorithm for shape matching is proposed for the plant leaf recognition. Finally, the superiority of our proposed method over traditional approaches to plant species identification is demonstrated by experiment. The experimental result showed that our proposed algorithm for leaf shape matching is very suitable for the recognition of not only intact but also partial, distorted and overlapped plant leaves due to its robustness.

متن کاملNumerical Study of the Effect of Materials’ Plastic Behavior on Equibiaxial Residual Stress Measurement Using Indentation
Indentation is a new method for estimating residual stress. The plastic behavior of the materials under study can affect indentation parameters and, thus, influences the results of residual stress measurement. In this paper, the effect of yield stress and work-hardening exponent on the accuracy of residual stress measurements in steels and aluminums was studied. Results showed that, for m...

متن کاملOptimization of majority protocol for controlling transactions concurrency in distributed databases by multi-agent systems
In this paper, we propose a new concurrency control algorithm based on multi-agent systems which is an extension of majority protocol. Then, we suggest a clustering approach to get better results in reliability, decreasing message passing and algorithm’s runtime. Here, we consider n different transactions working on non-conflict data items. Considering execution efficiency of some different...
