Abstract
This article discussed a method of describing the characteristics of plant leaves based on the outline fractal dimension and venation fractal dimension. The method first separated leaf edge and vein .According to multiple threshold edge detection, we get multiple vein. Then, the two-dimensional fractal dimension of the leaf edge image and multiple vein images will be calculated, which as the basis of plant leaves classification and recognition.
