Popis: The lighting condition of the environment are uncontrolled, so the segmentation of a leaf from the background is considered as a complex task. Here we propose a system which can identify the plant species based on the input leaf sample. An improved vegetation index, ExG-ExR is used to obtain more vegetative information from the images. The reason here is, it fixes a built-in zero threshold and hence there is no need to use otsu or any threshold value selected by the user. Inspite of the existence of more vegetative information in ExG with otsu method, our ExG-ExR index works well irrespective of the lighting background. Therefore, the ExG-ExR index identifies a binary plant region of interest. The original color pixel of the binary image serves as the mask which isolates leaves as sub-images. The plant species are classified by the color and texture features on each extracted leaf using Logistic Regression classifier with the accuracy of 93.3%.
