Özet

Understanding plant biology and classification of plant species stands out as an important issue in the field of biology. In recent years, with advancements in the field of artificial intelligence, the use of artificial intelligence for plant classification has increased. In this context, plant leaf images have begun to be examined with artificial intelligence. However, in the classification of plant species using artificial intelligence, the use of cell images may provide more accurate and reliable results compared to leaf images. Cell images allow for a closer focus on the genetic structure and fundamental characteristics of the plant, whereas leaf images may be more sensitive to environmental variability. Therefore, in plant classification using artificial intelligence, analyses based on cell images are preferred. In this study, microscopic cell images of four different plant species (Ficus Benjamin, Spathiphyllum, Ficus Elastica and Anthurium) were classified using machine learning methods such as KNN, SVM, Logistic Regression, Decision Trees and Random Forest. In order to classify plant species, a new data set consisting of microscopic cell images of four different plant species was created. Using this data set, plant species were classified with five different machine learning methods and their success accuracies were compared. As a result of the comparison, the best plant species classification was obtained by Random Forest with a success rate of 96.74%, and the worst plant species classification was obtained by the KNN method with a success rate of 86.05%. According to the results obtained, it was seen that microscopic plant cell images were successfully classified using machine learning methods.
