Abstract: In pharmacological science and bhaishaja kalpana, the recognition of plant leaves(leaf) is very important to make medicine. A Recognizing plant leaf has so far been an important and difficult task. In this paper leaf recognition system using the support vector machine as a classifier is proposed. The leaf recognition system consists of image acquisition, preprocessing, feature extraction and classification. The preprocessing involves a typical image processing conversion such as transforming color images to gray scale image then binary , smoothing and to contour image etc. In the feature extraction involves geometrical features are extracted from leaf images such as diameter, length, area, and perimeter etc. Total 10 digital morphological features (DMF) including geometrical features. These 10 features are orthogonalized into five principal variables using principal component analysis (PCA). These features are given as input vector to the support vector machine (SVM) for classifying leaves.
