Abstract :
To improve the accuracy of plant leaf area, a new measurement method of plant leaf area based on Snake model was adopted in this study. In this paper, we captured leaf counter with improved Snake model, built up 8-direction chain codes table, calculated the leaf area with the pixels in leaf contour, and visualized the statistical results with area histogram. This method was proved to be more accurate than prevalent method in this study as well, which has good potentials for practical applications.
