Methods
- Collecting microscopic images of leaves. There is a partnership with the Faculty of Animal Science and Food Engineering (FZEA), São Paulo University.
- Pre-processing of images to improve image quality and remove noise.
- Feature extraction using techniques based on the theory of complex systems (fractals, complexity measures, complex networks, cellular automata, etc.).
- Application of machine learning techniques to analyze and classify the features obtained in the previous step.
- Comparison of results with other existing state-of-the-art methods
