Shape Oriented Feature Selection for Tomato Plant Identification

Abstract

Selection of relevant features for classification from a high dimensional data set by keeping their class discriminatory information intact is a classical problem in Machine Learning. The classification power of the features can be measured from the point of view of redundant information and correlations among them. Choosing minimal set of features optimizes time, space complexity related cost and simplifies the classifier design, resulting in better classification accuracy. In this paper, tomato (Solanum Lycopersicum L) leaves and fruiting habits were chosen with a futuristic goal to build a prototype model of leaf & fruit classification. By applying digital image processing techniques, tomato leaf and fruit images were pre-processed and morphological shape based features were computed. Next, supervised filter and wrapper based feature selection techniques were adopted to choose the optimal feature set leading to small within-class variance and large among-class distance which may be of utter importance in building the model for recognition system of the tomato leaf and fruiting habit genre.

LifeCLEF 2015: Multimedia Life Species Identification Challenges

“…Fourteen of them finally crossed the finish line by participating in the collaborative evaluation and by writing technical reports describing in details their evaluated system. Image-based plant identification is the most promising solution towards bridging the botanical taxonomic gap, as illustrated by the proliferation of research work on the topic [33,10,41,35,2] as well as the emergence of dedicated mobile applications such as LeafSnap [43] or Pl@ntNet [38]. As promising as these applications are, their performance is still far from the requirements of a real-world's ecological surveillance scenario.…”

Analysis of Morphology Based Horticultural Features through Clustering Methods

“…In this paper we have used the best selected morphological features [1] to perform K-Means and Two-step clustering with the help of IBM SPSS statistics 20 data mining tool and there by comparing the cluster building abilities of these features. This comparison will give better visibility about the impact of the features in machine vision solutions.…”

Fruit Classification System Using Computer Vision: A Review

“…Minor axis length is also scalar that is specifying the length of minor axis (in pixels) of the minor axis of the ellipse that has the same normalized second central moment as the region. Shape features are measured by roundness (4π × Area/Perimeter2), aspect ratio(Major Axis/Minor Axis) and compactness (Perimeter2/Area) [12].…”
