On the Shape of the Leaves

Abstract:

In this paper, we study the shape of the leaves. More specifically, we show that leaf shapes are affected by genes and external environment in different species; and affected by leaf vein and leaf distribution In the same species. Based on shape features, color features and vein features, a Probabilistic Neural Network (PNN) Model is established by using Polar Fourier Transform. Finally, our experimental test shows that the total classification accuracy is 85.7%.
