Leaf Vein Extract Frame Based on Mathematical Morphology

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, we present a leaf vein extracting algorithm frame which deals with contour and interior vein by employing different methods. The interior vein extraction method based on gray scale processing, mathematical morphology and processing in details is presented. We apply gray-scale morphology to process the image and extract the vein information. Through the analysis of the image information, processing in details is adopted to clear the information on the other tissues and insignificant veins. The extracted significant interior vein is overlaid with the leaf contour extracted through edge detection by pixel union operation. Experiment results show the effectiveness of the proposed method.
