In this paper, we employ Multilayer Perceptron with image and data processing techniques and neural network to implement a general purpose automated leaf recognition. Sampling leaves and photoing them are low cost and convenient. One can easily transfer the leaf image to a computer and a computer can extract features automatically in image processing techniques. This paper implements a leaf recognition algorithm using easy-to-extract features and high efficient recognition algorithm. Our main improvements are on feature extraction and the classifier. All features are extracted from digital leaf image. With only one exception, all features can be extracted automatically.
