Abstract
In this paper we describe an approach for plant leaf segmentation which is background invariant. Leaf segmentation is a primal pre-processing step to perform various operations on the leaf, which is mostly difficult to achieve with accuracy on varied backgrounds. This method has been tested on a dataset of 200 leaves form 8 different plant species and with each having a different background. The approach is easy to implement and has high accuracy.
