Before the development of machine learning techniques, leaf identification has always been done by experts of this specific field, capable of deciding the species of a given leaf on the grounds of their knowledge. Nowadays, they can be supported in this task by automatic leaf recognition systems, which provide extremely useful tools also for non-professionals. The aim of this project is to find the best among some classifiers which, given some features related to the shape and the texture of a leaf displayed in an image, are able to return the name of the species of the leaf. Hence, the idea is to compare different models according to some performance indexes and decide which one suits the leaf identification problem best.
