Description
Medicinal plants play an important role in human mental and physical well-being. As a result, recognizing and categorizing medicinal herbs is critical to providing quality medicines. This dataset contains forty (40) different species of medicinal plants found in the Philippines with a total of 4922 leaves. This dataset was used in the study "Classifying Philippine Medicinal Plants Based on Their Leaves Using Deep Learning" published on July 13, 2023. Using VGG19 as classifier in the study, it yielded an average accuracy of 92.67%. The images were captured in natural light using a 48-MP Android phone.
