title = "Advanced tree species identification using multiple leaf parts image queries",
abstract = "There has recently been increasing interest in using advanced computer vision techniques for automatic plant identification. Most of the approaches proposed are based on an analysis of leaf characteristics. Nevertheless, two aspects have still not been well exploited: (1) domain-specific or botanical knowledge (2) the extraction of meaningful and relevant leaf parts. In this paper, we describe a new automated technique for leaf image retrieval that attempts to take these particularities into account. The proposed method is based on local representation of leaf parts. The part-based decomposition is defined and usually used by botanists. The global image query is a combination of part sub-images queries. Experiments carried out on real world leaf images, the Pl@ntLeaves scan images (3070 images totalling 70 species), show an increase in performance compared to global leaf representation.",
