Plant Leaf Recognition through Local Discriminative Tangent Space Alignment

الملخص EN

Manifold learning based dimensionality reduction algorithms have been payed much attention in plant leaf recognition as the algorithms can select a subset of effective and efficient discriminative features in the leaf images.

In this paper, a dimensionality reduction method based on local discriminative tangent space alignment (LDTSA) is introduced for plant leaf recognition based on leaf images.

The proposed method can embrace part optimization and whole alignment and encapsulate the geometric and discriminative information into a local patch.

The experiments on two plant leaf databases, ICL and Swedish plant leaf datasets, demonstrate the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed method.
