Abstract

Plant plays an important role in human life, so it is necessary to build an automatic system for recognizing plant. Leaf classification has become a research focus for twenty years. In this paper, we propose a single connected layer (SCL) structure adding into the convolutional neural network (CNN). We use this CNN model for plant leaf identification and report the promising results on ICL leaf database. Moreover, we propose some improvement on it to let it perform better. The result shows that our advanced SCL can effectively improve the accuracy of CNN.
