An Efficient Approach for Plant Leaves Identification Based on Texture Features

India is an agriculture major country. Agriculture plays vital role in GDP and culture of our country. India has found very large number and variety of plants. But various plants have same appearance, and because of which it is difficult to distinguish them. Nursing a plant according to its requirements is crucial. If, a plant is identified incorrectly and is supplied with wrong fertilizers can result in poor yield and productivity. Thus, identifying plant correctly is a prominent task. Therefore, we propose an approach to classify leaves of Cucurbita (commonly known as pumpkin) and Lagenaria siceraria (known as bottle guard) which are similar in appearance but are actually very different in texture. There are various approaches exist in a literature to identify the plant leaves. The propose approach using the Linear Discriminator classifier has performance 99.6% which is found better with respect to the other classifiers like K-NN, SVM etc.
