Abstract

The study of flower classification system is a very important subject in the field of Botany. A classifier of flowers with high accuracy will also bring a lot of fun to people's lives. However, because of the complex background of flowers, the similarity between the different species of flowers, and the differences among the same species of flowers, there are still some challenges in the recognition of flower images. The traditional flower classification is mainly based on the three features: color, shape and texture, this classification requires people to select features for classification, and the accuracy is not very high. In this paper, based on Inception-v3 model of TensorFlow platform, we use the transfer learning technology to retrain the flower category datasets, which can greatly improve the accuracy of flower classification.
