Abstract
There are a number of leaf recognition methods, but most of them are based on Euclidean space. In this paper, we will introduce a new description of feature for the leaf image recognition, which represents the leaf contour with the ordered sequence. For a leaf image, points on the contour represent the most important information of the leaf. Thus, by extracting serial points of the leaf contour, the unique corresponding ordered sequence can be obtained for a contour. Then, we can compute the amplitude-frequency feature by performing the Discrete Fourier transform on the ordered sequence. Since the low-frequency part of the Fourier transform represents the global information and the high-frequency part the local details, we can adopt the amplitude-frequency feature for leaf image recognition. Experimental results on the famous Swedish library and ICL library show that the proposed feature is effective for leaf image recognition.
