Abstract
A system for plant leaf identification includes: a plant image capturing unit which captures an image of a target plant to generate a plant image; a plant area image extraction unit which separates a background area and a plant area in the plant image to generate a plant area image including the plant area; a plant area image skeletonization unit which skeletonizes the plant area image to generate a skeletonized plant area image; a candidate leaf path generation unit which identifies a root vertex, a junction vertex and a leaf tip vertex in the skeletonized plant area image, and generates a plurality of candidate leaf paths by calculating all possible paths from the root vertex to the leaf tip vertex; and a final leaf path reconstruction unit which reconstructs a final leaf path matching the plant image by selecting the plurality of candidate leaf paths.
