SURFACE TEXTURE AND COLOR IN MACROSCOPIC ANALYSIS OF LEAVES
The analysis of color and surface texture of leaves of 9 plant species was carried out. The most valuable attributes of leaf texture (Inverse Difference Moment, Angular Second Moment, Contrast, Entropy, Correlation) were distinguished, through using principal component analysis. All explored species were well divided by quantity and structural features of the leaf hairs. Color analysis of scanned leaf images allowed clear division of plants into species with light green, green and dark green leaf surface.
