Plant identification with convolutional neural networks and transfer learning

Abstract

Nature is rich with a vast amount of plant and flower species and because of their great diversity; identification of these species requires expertise in the field. Development of an automatic plant identification system can ease this process. In this work, deep Convolutional Neural Networks and Transfer Learning have been utilized in order to develop such an identification system. Images in the database have been collected from other databases and the web and in total it consists of 5,345 flowers and plant images belong to 76 species. 65 of the species are various flower species and 11 of them are other plant species. Data augmentation techniques has been applied in order to increase the number of images in the database and to improve the generalization capacity of the model. For data augmentation, random rotation at four angles, random brightness change in the range of [-0.2, 0.2] and horizontal flip have been applied. Also preprocessing techniques such as center cropping and normalizing have been applied to images before input them to the model. In automatic plant recognition, 0.9971 accuracy achieved on the training set and 0.9897 accuracy achieved on the test set
