Abstract

Leaf classification is an important use case and has been explored by main researchers. The main features focused for leaf classification in previous work were shape and texture. In this paper we have discussed the comparative study of different technologies used for feature extraction and selection. We observed that less amount of work is done on Medicinal leaves data. As India is a rich country for being the habitat for a variety of medicinal plants it will be helpful if we can detect such leaves for better use which will be our part of future work after comparing and finding best method and model use for leaf classification.
