An initial study on estimating area of a leaf using image processing

TL;DR

This paper explores using image processing techniques to estimate leaf area quickly and accurately by converting leaf images into binary form and calculating pixel coverage, which is then translated into physical measurements.

Contribution

It introduces a method for estimating leaf area through image processing, emphasizing the steps of image conversion and pixel-based calculation.

Findings

Image processing can effectively estimate leaf area.

Binary image conversion simplifies area calculation.

Pixel count correlates with physical leaf size.

Abstract

Calculating leaf area is very important. Computer aided image processing can make this faster and more accurate. This include scanning the leaf , converting it to binary image and calculation of number of pixels covered. Later this is converted to mm2.
