Summary: | This disclosure relates generally to estimating age of a leaf using morphological features extracted from segmented leaves. Traditionally, leaf age estimation requires a single leaf to be plucked from the plant and its image to be captured in a controlled environment. The method and system of the present disclosure obviates these needs and enables obtaining one or more full leaves from images captured in an uncontrolled environment. The method comprises segmenting the image to identify veins of the leaves that further enable obtaining the full leaves. The obtained leaves further enable identifying an associated plant species. The method also discloses some morphological features which are fed to a pre-trained multivariable linear regression model to estimate age of every leaf. The estimated leaf age finds application in estimation of multiple plant characteristics like photosynthetic rate, transpiration, nitrogen content and health of the plants. |
