Abstract :
This paper introduces multimedia indexing and retrieval techniques to enable the extraction of botanical characteristics for semi-automatic plant recognition. The identification of plants requires recognition and determination of plant species by using specific features such as bloom color, inflorescences, shape of blooms, number of petals and shape of leaves. Our indexing and retrieval techniques will be integrated into an existing medicinal plant database, MedPhytreg. An evaluation study finishes the paper.
