Research on Artificial Intelligence: Deep Learning to Identify Plant Species

Nowadays, people pay more attention in artificial intelligence(AI) research, and they try to make Al smarter. The machine learning became a popular subject, especially in object recognition area. Aiming at providing a faster and more accurate plant species recognition program, the author introduced the deep learning and convolution neural network(CNN), and decided to build a CNN project with pycharm, anaconda, kera to find the best way to improve recognition program accuracy and recognition speed. The author tried to change the learning epoch time and learning data set capacity to found the best solution. After tests were finished, the result of output plots analyze is that both adding learning epochs time and extend training image set are all helpful to improve recognition accuracy and speed. As for the effect of increase learning time, it is more obvious in improving accuracy while extend training set size, which is a better method to reduce recognition time. The end of the thesis contained the experiment result, the deficiency of this essay and the future prospect forecast of the machine learning applied in plant area.
