Plant Leaf Recognition Network Based on Feature Learning and Metric Learning.

Plant image recognition is an important thing for protecting plants, protecting the environment, and protecting nature. Recently, most models in the field of plant leaf recognition make classification after extracting global features. In this paper, we propose a plant leaf recognition model based on metric learning. Metric learning calculates the similarity of the extracted feature vectors to obtain the distance between different sample features, so as to determine whether similar pictures belong to the same category, and then achieve the classification effect. In this study, feature triplet are used for metric learning, and the loss function we used is triplet-loss.
