Design of Fine-grained Plant Dataset and A Plant Image Acquisition Tool

Fine-grained plant classification has attracted great interest for its wide application. However, there is currently no suitable fine-grained plant dataset for deep learning. In this paper, we propose a method of constructing fine-grained plant dataset with adequate annotations. the dataset can help the methods to achieve better plant classification performance. Moreover, we develop an acquisition tool for collecting fine-grained plant dataset. The tool can mitigate the problem of collecting plant images in the fields.
