Abstract -- Identification of plant species has traditionally been a time-consuming and labor-intensive task, requiring specialized knowledge and expertise. However, recent advances in deep learning have shown great potential in automating the process of plant species identification. In this study, we propose a deep learning approach for plant species identification based on convolutional neural networks (CNNs).

Our proposed approach involves training a CNN using a large dataset of plant images, where each image is labeled with its corresponding species. The CNN learns to extract features from the images that are unique to each species, enabling it to accurately identify new plant species. To evaluate the performance of our approach, we tested it on a dataset of plant images that were not used during training.

Our results demonstrate that our proposed approach achieves high accuracy in identifying plant species, outperforming traditional machine learning approaches. Our approach has the potential to significantly reduce the time and effort required for plant species identification, making it a valuable tool for plant researchers and conservationists.
