چکیده
In this paper a method for the automated identification of tree species from images of leaves, bark and needles is presented. The automated identification of leaves uses local features to avoid segmentation. For the automated identification of images of the bark this method is compared to a combination of GLCM and wavelet features. For classification a Support Vector machine is used. The needle images are analyzed for features which can be used for classification. The proposed method is evaluated on a dataset provided by the “Österreichische Bundesforste AG” (“Austrian federal forests”). The dataset contains 1183 images of the most common Austrian trees. The classification rate of the bark dataset was 69.7%.

Automated identification of tree species from images of the bark, leaves or needles
In this thesis a method for the automated identification of tree species from images of leaves, needles and bark is presented. In contrast to the current state of the art for the identification from leaf images, no segmentation of the leaves is necessary. Furthermore the proposed method is able to handle damaged and overlapping leaves. This is done by extracting keypoints in the image which all...
متن کاملLevels of selected trace elements in Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.), silver birch (Betula pendula L.), and Norway maple (Acer platanoides L.) in an urbanized environment
The aim of the study was to determine the concentrations of selected trace elements in needles and bark of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.), leaves and bark of silver birch (Betula pendula L.), and Norway maple (Acer platanoides L.), as well as in the soil in which the trees grew, depending on their localization and hence the distribution of local pollution sources. The content of trace element...
متن کاملPlant Classification in Images of Natural Scenes Using Segmentations Fusion
This paper presents a novel approach to automatic classifying and identifying of tree leaves using image segmentation fusion. With the development of mobile devices and remote access, automatic plant identification in images taken in natural scenes has received much attention. Image segmentation plays a key role in most plant identification methods, especially in complex background images. Wher...

Abstract Over the last two decades, improvements in developing computational tools made significant contributions to the classification of biological specimens` images to their correspondence species. These days, identification of biological species is much easier for taxonomist and even non-taxonomists due to the development of automated computer techniques and systems. In this study, we d...
