Leaf Classification

Leaf Classification

Paper #1 - Plant identification using deep neural networks via optimization of transfer learning parameters

Key Notes

  • 1.2 million labeled images of 1,000 different categories from the ImageNet = one thousand two hundred per class
  • LifeCLEF 2015 - 91,758 labeled images of different plant organs (e.g. flowers, fruits, leaves, and stems), from 1,000 - 91 per class

Parts of Plant

  • Branch 
  • Entire 
  • Flower 
  • Fruit 
  • Leaf 
  • LeafScan 
  • Stem 
  • Overall




  • Increasing the batch size from 20 to 60 improves the overall accuracy
  • 80 patches for data augmentation

Paper #2 - Multi-Organ Plant Classification Based on Convolutional and Recurrent Neural Networks

Key Notes

  • Feature engineering approaches such as Scale-invariant
  • feature transform (SIFT), Bag of Word (Bow), Speeded-Up
  • Robust Features (SURF), Gabor, Local Binary Pattern (LBP).
  • Most generally used features to distinguish leaves of different species
  • Hybrid generic-organ convolutional neural network, abbreviated HGO-CNN
  • Three different sizes: 256, 384 and 512
  • Crop 256 × 256 center pixels
  • Multi-Scale Plant Images Generation
  • During network training, 224 × 224 pixels are randomly cropped from the rescaled images and fed into the network
