how i can extract color and texture feature from flower images.
for color extraction m used rgb to hsv conversion and separate all value h,S and V but cant find the result. plz help me...
A flower image is segmented by removing the background using a threshold-based method. The characteristics of the texture, ie the color texture moments, the gray level co-occurrence matrix and the Gabor responses are extracted, and combinations of these are considered in the classification of the flowers. In this paper, a probabilistic neural network is used as a classifier. In order to corroborate the efficacy of the proposed method, an experiment was carried out in our own data set of 35 flower classes, each with 50 samples. The data set has different flower species with similar appearance (small inter-class variations) across different classes and variable appearance (large intra-class variations) within a class. In addition, the flower images are of different pose, with a messy background under various lighting conditions and climatic conditions. The experiment was performed for various sizes of datasets, to study the effect of precision classification, and the results show that the combination of multiple characteristics greatly improves performance, from 35% for the best single characteristic to 79% for the combination of all features.
