Multiscale Fractal Dimension Modelling on Leaf Venation Topology Pattern of Indonesian Medicinal Plants

Abstract

This research proposed a new model to differentiate leaf venation topology patterns using Multiscale Fractal Dimension. Identification of medicinal plants is important considering wide range of biodiverslry in lndonesia and significant role of medicinal plants in lndonesia. Plants identification can be performed with shape analysis using plant leaf venation as a feature. :\1ultiscale Fractal Dimension is a shape analysis method that analyze shapes through its complexity. In this research three Indonesian medicinal plants species has their leaf venation topologies modelled with Multiscale Fractal Dimension. The result shows that while the difference is not remarkably clear, there are irregularities that can be made more evident with multiscale analysis, Future works can include :\1ultiscale Fractal Dimension as one technique to identify plants.
