Leaves provide an important source of data for research in comparative plant biology. This paper presents a method for comparing and classifying plants based on leaf texture. Joint distributions for the responses from applying different scales of the Gabor filter are calculated. The difference between leaf textures is calculated by the Jeffreydivergence measure of corresponding distributions. T...
