Classification of Biological Species Based on Leaf Architecture–A review

Plants play an important role in human life and provide required information for the development of human society. The urgent situation is that due to environmental degradation and lack of awareness, many rare plant species are at the risk of extinction so it is necessary to keep record for plant protection. We believe that the first step is to buildup a database for protecting plants. So the need arises to teach a computer how to classify plants. Despite the great advances made in Botany, there are many plants which are still unknown.This research focuses on using digital image processing for the purpose of automate classification and recognition of plants based on the images of the leaves. In this paper we review leaf architecture and various techniques for automated plant classification and recognition.
