Since leaf is one of the important features for characterizing various plants, it is often taken for plant recognition. The thesis proposes a hierarchical automatic region-based method for leaf recognition. First, delete impossible species to which the input leaf belongs according to the leaf shape represented by five extracted features. Next, based on these candidates, the system finds out the most similar images in our database and allows each user to choose the correct one. The precision rate is 95.14% for top 5. In addition, the proposed method is rotation invariant and solves the noises caused by light reflection in preprocessing.
