Abstract
Plan! is one of the most important forms of life on earth. Plant recognition is very demanding in biology
and agriculture as new plant discovery and the computerization of the management of plant species
become more popular. The recognition is a process resulting in the assignment o f each individual plant to
a descending series of related plants in terms of their common characteristics. The process is very timeconsuming
as it has been mainly carried out by botanists. Computer-aided plant recognition is still very
challenging task in computer vision as the lack of proper models or representation schemes, a large
number of variations of the plant species, and imprecise image pre-processing techniques, such as edge
detection and contour extraction. The focus of computerized living plant recognition is on stable feature’s
extraction of plants. The information of leaf veins, therefore, play an important role in identifying living
plants. The ultimate goal of this project is to develop a system where a user in the field can take a picture of
an unknown plant, feed it to the system carried on a portable computer, and have the .system classify the
species and display sample images of the closest matches within a couple of .seconds.
