Analysis of the Leaf Fractal Dimension

Abstract

The present study deals with the analysis of leaf shapes in terms of fractal geometry with medicinal plant like Hibiscus Leaf, by using the techniques of Image Processing. Fractal analysis has been applied to describe various aspects connected with the complexity of plant morphology. In this work we determined the fractal dimension of leaves for four methods like Prewitt , Sobel , Roberts , Canny . We summarize the different methods that have been developed for estimating the fractal dimension of medicinal leaves. The results are very informative.
