Abstract

Plant identification is crucial in plant protection, crop breeding and agriculture research area. With the development of information technology, computer vision-based plant identification is an effective and efficient solution. Many tradition plant identification algorithms utilize only one type of plant images, such as images from leaves, flowers and stems etc., which may bring misclassifications. In order to recognize plant accurately, we propose a new plant identification scheme based on image set analysis. In this method, uses image set as a taxonomic unit, each image set consists of multiple images (whole plant, fruits, leaves, flowers, stems, branches, leaves scan), the characteristics of plants are fused together as a basis for plant identification. Compared to the traditional single feature, this study has more characteristics and provides more information in the classification process. A face recognition algorithm based on image collection is used in our research, for example: AHISD/CHISD (Affine/Convex Hull based Image Set Distance), PLRC (Pairwise Linear Regression Classification), SSDML (Set-to-Set Distance Metric Learning), SANP (Sparse Approximated Nearest Point), RNP (Regularized Nearest Points). Data set contains 64,150 plant images, it can be divided into 369 training set (each training set contains 50 pictures) and 914 test sets (each test set contains 50 picture). The results show that CHISD has the highest recognition rate, at 77.02%, which is more suitable for requiring higher accuracy. RNP identifies a plant class took an average of 0.75 s, the algorithm is more suitable for the occasion with higher time requirement. Therefore, the plant identification based on image set is feasible and low cost, which can be extended to agricultural production.
