Abstract
With explosive growth of plant species, it is becoming difficult for the botanists to manage the details of leaf. Moreover, extracting the specific leaf from the huge collection is a big job. Hence, an effort is done so as to help the botanists identify the specific leaf. The basic approach for leaf identification is based on textual information. But the effort involved in manual annotation is comparatively tedious and moreover it is impossible to represent the vast features of the image in limited keywords. Fundamentally, the identification of a plant is based on leaf. We present a summary of different boundary based methods for image retrieval of leaf. The methods have been explored for maple leaf and advantages and disadvantages have been highlighted.
