Robust vein extraction on plant leaf images
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper an algorithm for robust extraction of leaf veins on plant leaf images is presented and tested on several images. It accomplishes a structure tracking by taking spatial information into account. The final result of the algorithm is a representation of the leaf veins as b-splines which contains the hierarchical information of the vein system. This allows to sample previously estimated affine growth rates along and normal to the plant veins. Thus they can be represented in physiological coordinates. This is vital botanists to compare the results of several leaves and species.

Leaf Vein Extraction Based on Gray-scale Morphology
Leaf features play an important role in plant species identification and plant taxonomy. The type of the leaf vein is an important morphological feature of the leaf in botany. Leaf vein should be extracted from the leaf in the image before discriminating its type. In this paper a new method of leaf vein extraction has been proposed based on gray-scale morphology. Firstly, the color image of the...

متن کاملThe Extraction of Venation from Leaf Images by Evolved Vein Classifiers and Ant Colony Algorithms
Leaf venation is an important source of data for research in comparative plant biology. This paper presents a method for evolving classifiers capable of extracting the venation from leaf images. Quantitative and qualitative analysis of the classifier produced is carried out. The results show that the method is capable of the extraction of near complete primary and secondary venations with relat...
متن کاملAutomatic Leaf Extraction from Outdoor Images
Automatic plant recognition and disease analysis may be streamlined by an image of a complete, isolated leaf as an initial input. Segmenting leaves from natural images is a hard problem. Cluttered and complex backgrounds: often composed of other leaves are commonplace. Furthermore, their appearance is highly dependent upon illumination and viewing perspective. In order to address these issues w...
متن کاملFeature Extraction and Automatic Recognition of Plant Leaf Using Artificial Neural Network
Plant recognition is an important and challenging task. Leaf recognition plays an important role in plant recognition and its key issue lies in whether selected features are stable and have good ability to discriminate different kinds of leaves. From the view of plant leaf morphology (such as shape, dent, margin, vein and so on), domain–related visual features of plant leaf are analyzed and ext...
