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

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 biodiversity in Indonesia and significant role of medicinal plants in Indonesia. Plants identification can be performed with shape analysis using plant leaf venation as a feature. Multiscale 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 Multiscale Fractal Dimension as one technique to identify plants.
