Deep Learning for Plant Species Classification

Protection of biodiversity is quite essential and for this purpose, we should know more about the species Identification of plant species by using conventional hand-crafted features is complex. It is difficult for non-experts to remember the specific botanical terms. The idea of automatic identification of plant species is approaching reality. Machine learning and deep learning play an important role in this matter. Hence, we are implementing deep learning based Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) that which extract the features from leaf images and it is used for the classification of plant species. The deep learning methods outperform all handcrafted methods.
