description In computer vision, recognizing plant pictures has emerged as a multidisciplinary area of interest. In the last several years, much research has been conducted to determine the type of plant in each image automatically. The challenges in identifying the medicinal plants are due to the changes in the effects of image light, stance, and orientation. Further, it is difficult to identify the medicinal plants due to factors like variations in leaf shape with age and changing leaf color in response to varying weather conditions. The proposed work uses machine learning techniques and deep neural networks to choose appropriate leaf features to determine if the leaf is a medicinal or non-medicinal plant. This study presents a neural network design based on PSR-LeafNet (PSR-LN). PSR-LeafNet is a single network that combines the P-Net, S-Net, and R-Net, all intended for leaf feature extraction using the minimum redundancy maximum relevance (MRMR) approach. The PSR-LN helps obtain the shape features, color features, venation of the leaf, and textural features. A support vector machine (SVM) is applied to the output achieved from the PSR network, which helps classify the name of the plant. The model design is named PSR-LN-SVM. The advantage of the designed model is that it suits more considerable dataset processing and provides better results than traditional neural network models. The methodology utilized in the work achieves an accuracy of 97.12% for the MalayaKew dataset, 98.10% for the IMP dataset, and 95.88% for the Flavia dataset. The proposed models surpass all the existing models, having an improvement in accuracy. These outcomes demonstrate that the suggested method is successful in accurately recognizing the leaves of medicinal plants, paving the way for more advanced uses in plant taxonomy and medicine.
