Performance Improvement of Leaf Identification SystemUsing Principal Component Analysis

This paper reports the results of experiments in improving performance of leaf identification system using Principal Component Analysis (PCA). The system involved combination of features derived from shape, vein, color, and texture of leaf. PCA was incorporated to the identification system to convert the features into orthogonal features and then the results were inputted to the classifier that used Probabilistic Neural Network (PNN). This approach has been tested on two datasets, Foliage and Flavia, that contain various color leaves (foliage plants) and green leaves respectively. The results showed that PCA can increase the accuracy of the leaf identification system on both datasets.
