Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titlePLANT RECOGNITION USING STEREO LEAF IMAGE USING GRAY-LEVEL CO-OCCURRENCE MATRIXHermawan Syahputra, Agus Harjoko, Retantyo Wardoyo, Reza PulunganAdequate knowledge, such as information about the unique characteristics of each plant, is necessary to identify plant. Researchers have made plant recognition based on leaf characteristics. The leaf image-based plant recognition in view of different angles is a new challenge. In this study, the research on the plant recognition was conducted based on leaf images resulted from 3D stereo camera. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 24 Dec 2013 · 8,119 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleLEAF FEATURES EXTRACTION AND RECOGNITION APPROACHES TO CLASSIFY PLANTMohamad Faizal Ab Jabal, Suhardi Hamid, Salehuddin Shuib, Illiasaak AhmadPlant classification based on leaf identification is becoming a popular trend. Each leaf carries substantial information that can be used to identify and classify the origin or the type of plant. In medical perspective, images have been used by doctors to diagnose diseases and this method has been proven reliable for years. Using the same method as doctors, researchers try … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 10 · 5 Sep 2013 · 7,367 accessesView PDFCite
