Abstract: In order to improve the overall performance of plant leaves recognition, this paper proposed a novel method combining PCA with AdaBoost.M1to recognize plant leaves. The proposed method firstly carries out the image preprocessing, which includes the image gray processing, the image binarization, and the edge extraction; extracts the 13 features of plant leaf with the characteristics of rotation invariance, proportion invariance, and translation invariance; subsequently employs PCA to reduce the dimensions of these feature parameters; and finally adopts the AdaBoost.M1 classifier to train and recognize the reduced-dimension plant leaf images. Simulation experiment results indicate that the proposed method is able to improve the overall performance effectively of plant leaves recognition.

Key words: plant leaves recognition, performance improvement, PCA, AdaBoost.M1, image processing
