Abstract: Traditional flower species recognition algorithms are mainly based on designing hand-craft feature and training classifier, which generalization ability is limited and the recognition accuracy always reach a bottleneck. Therefore, this paper proposes a recognition method that is based on 152 residual layers deep convolutioal neural network. Specifically, model transfer learning is used to refine the network via large scale labeled flower database that are acquired from internet worm system. In the online system which has embedded the proposed recognition algorithm, user can send flower images to the cloud via internet. Then the recognition algorithm is performed through deep architecture that deployed on the server. Experimental results conducted on ImageNet and NetDragon datasets show that the fine tuned residual network has the advantages of high accuracy, real time feedback, and better robustness.
