Abstract:
Herbs are used since ancient times for healing various ailments in traditional medicine in various parts of the world. The identification or recognition of such plants has become a challenge for many, and the proposed method will help in overcoming these issues through classification of leafs using gradient-based features and Nearest Neighbour classifier in Support Vector Machines (SVM). The pre-processing steps involve binarization using Otsu’s method, noise removal using median filter and resizing. After preprocessing, the preprocessed leaf image will be extracted and the gradient-based features will be analyzed using
