Plant recognition system based on Neural Networks

Abstract

With the evolution of technologies, people have adopted their day today lives to utilize the benefits of highly advanced technologies. Artificial Intelligence and Neural Networks are playing major roles in this process and they have been involved in fields of medicine, automobiles, aeronautical science, military and many more. Unfortunately very little concern is devoted to the botanical science field, especially in taxonomic researches of plants. Even today, identification and classification of unknown plant species are performed manually by expert personnel who are very few in number. It takes a long time and the results are not very accurate. Advanced Plant Identification System (APIS) is an intelligent system which has the ability to identify tree species from photographs of their leaves and it provides more accurate results within less time.
