Leaf Classification based on GLCM Texture and SVM

Abstract

This paper involves classification of leaves using GLCM (Gray Level Co-occurrence matrix) texture and SVM (Support Vector Machines). GLCM is used for extracting texture feature of leaves. Creating a plant database for quick and efficient classification and recognition is an important step for their conservation. This approach would help to extract useful features of leaf and improve the accuracy of leaf classification. The standard leaf images are subjected to preprocessing. Feature values are extracted from pre-processed image and they are trained and classified. Standard data sets are used for enhancing the properties of the image.
