Automated plant recognition system based on multi-objective parallel genetic algorithm and neural network

Plant recognition system is a system that recognizes the species of plants automatically. The applications of this system are in medicine, botanical research and agriculture. In the recent years, lack of sufficient botanist increases the need for computerized system. Also, it can be seen that workin...
