Classification of Edelweiss Flowers Using Data Augmentation and Linear Discriminant Analysis Methods

Edelweiss is a plant that grows at a height, and is known as a perennial flower because it has beautiful petals and does not wilt easily. Although edelweiss in Indonesia is still in the same family as Leontopodium Alpinum, it turns out that the type of edelweiss found in the mountains of Indonesia is different from edelweiss found abroad. Therefore, in this study, an image processing system was developed that can classify the types of edelweiss flowers based on their image using Linear Discriminant Analysis to classify data into several classes based on the boundary line (straight line) obtained from linear equations. In this study, the types of edelweiss flowers used in this study were Anaphalis Javanica and Leontopodium Alpinum, the two types of edelweiss flowers were distinguished based on their color characteristics using hue and saturation values. The images used are 1500 images for training data and 450 test data images with a training and test data ratio of 70:30, so that the accuracy produced in the testing process is 99.77% in the Linear Discriminant Analysis method.
