Abstract

In this paper, a rose-flower variety classification scheme, using color and shape features is presented. The first three statistical moments of the R, G, and B planes of the image were calculated to describe the color, while Fourier coefficients are used to describe the shape. For shape description, signatures (wave-forms) of the boundary contour of the binary images were extracted. Fourier coefficients that are used to describe the shape were estimated using the signatures generated. Depending on the Fourier coefficients, a representation of sums of angles formed along boundaries of the flowers was defined. Using these sums and the color features as input to an artificial neural network (ANN), the flowers were classified into their respective target classes. The eighteen flower varieties considered in this study were classified with an accuracy of 95.6%, 98.9%, and 100% using their shape, color, and combination of both shape and color features, respectively. Comparing these results, it was found that the combination of the two features is an efficient criterion for rose flower variety discrimination and classification.
