摘要
Medicinal plants are usually identified using practitioners' experience, but reproducible, image based methods can complement this knowledge. We present MEDIPI (MEDIcinal Plant Identification), a statistical machine learning approach that classifies medicinal plant leaves from photographs. From each leaf image we extract 52 interpretable features covering shape, texture, color, and a new scagnostics category. We then classify leaves using a three level hierarchy: shape, then edge type, then species. We also release MedLEA, an open R package with 1,099 leaf images of 31 Sri Lankan medicinal plant species. On this dataset, a hierarchical Random Forest achieved the best overall accuracy (100%) in our comparison of hierarchical and non-hierarchical approaches and eight algorithms: Random Forest, XGBoost, Gradient Boosting, linear discriminant analysis, k-nearest neighbor, support vector machine, probabilistic neural network, and artificial neural network. Adding texture, color, and scagnostic features to shape features raised shape level accuracy from 90% to 97%. Linear discriminant analysis plots show how the trained model separates leaf shapes. Accuracy dropped sharply (23-50%) when training and test data came from different datasets, so generalization across datasets remains a challenge.
