Plant classification system based on leaf features

This paper presents a classification approach based on Random Forests (RF) and Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) algorithms for classifying the different types of plants. The proposed approach consists of three phases that are pre-processing, feature extraction, and classification phases. Since most types of plants have unique leaves, so the classification approach presented in this research depends on plants leave. Leaves are different from each other by characteristics such as the shape, color, texture and the margin. The used dataset for this experiments is a database of different plant species with total of only 340 leaf images, was downloaded from UCI- Machine Learning Repository. It was used for both training and testing datasets with 10-fold cross-validation. Experimental results showed that LDA achieved classification accuracy of (92.65%) against the RF that achieved accuracy of (88.82%) with combination of shape, first order texture, Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM), HSV color moments, and vein features.
