The Analysis of Plants Image Recognition Based on Deep Learning and Artificial Neural Network

Abstract

Classification and identification of plants are helpful for people to effectively understand and protect plants. The leaves of plants are the most important recognition organs. With the development of artificial intelligence and machine vision technology, plant leaf recognition technology based on image analysis is used to improve the knowledge of plant classification and protection. Deep learning is the abbreviation of deep neural network learning method and belongs to neural network structure. It can automatically learn features from big data and use artificial neural network based on back propagation algorithm to train and classify plant leaf samples. The main content of this paper is to extract plant leaf features and identify plant species based on image analysis. Firstly, plant leaf images are segmented by various methods, and then feature extraction algorithm is used to extract leaf shape and texture features from leaf sample images. Then the comprehensive characteristic information of plant leaves is formed according to the comprehensive characteristic information. In this paper, 50 plant leaf databases are tested and compared with KNN-based neighborhood classification, Kohonen network based on self-organizing feature mapping algorithm and SVM-based support vector machine. At the same time, the leaves of 7 different plants were compared and it was found that ginkgo leaves were easier to identify. For leaf images under complex background, good recognition effect has been achieved. Image samples of the test set are input into the learning model to obtain reconstruction errors. The class label of the test set can be obtained by reconstructing the deep learning model with the smallest error set. The results show that this method has the shortest recognition time and the highest correct recognition rate.
