Participation of INRIA & Pl@ntNet to ImageCLEF 2011 Plant Images Classification Task

This paper presents the participation of INRIA IMEDIA group and the Pl@ntNet project to ImageCLEF 2011 plant identica- tion task. ImageCLEF's plant identication task provides a testbed for the system-oriented evaluation of tree species identication based on leaf images. The aim is to investigate image retrieval approaches in the con- text of crowdsourced images of leaves collected in a collaborative manner. IMEDIA submitted two runs to this task and obtained the best evalu- ation score for two of the three image categories addressed within the benchmark. The paper presents the two approaches employed, and pro- vides an analysis of the obtained evaluation results.
