Enhancing plant morphological trait identification in herbarium collections through deep learning–based segmentation

Our approach isolates plant elements in herbarium scans by removing background elements to improve classification tasks. We demonstrate that image segmentation significantly enhances the performance of plant morphological trait identification models.
