MORPHIDAS: Morphometric Herbarium Image Data Analysis

The MORPHIDAS project involves the automatic extraction of leaf information from digital images of whole herbarium specimens. Examples include measuring the length and width of leaves and characterising their veins and teeth. Such information can then be used to automate analysis of species, species identification and so on. Advances in the field of image interpretation and automatic plant characterization, classification and species identification are ongoing.
