Pattern Recognition Method for Study of botanical characteristics of Leaf P.E.Ajmire

The feature extraction is important step in pattern recognition. The application of pattern recognition to extract proper features of leaf can lead to through study of botanical characteristics of leaf. The methodological contents of this paper are to describe a novel approach for pattern recognition method for feature extraction from natural image such as plant leaf. This novel method proposed for automated living plant species recognition. This recognition of plant species will be useful for botanical students in their research for plant species identification. A leaf is an aerial and lateral outgrowth of the stem of a usually flat and dorsiventral anatomy. Their pattern, also called leaf venation, is a feature of characterization. The blade margin and the leaf arrangement at the stem are further features of characterization.
