Abstract Identifying the correct medicinal plants that goes into the preparation of a medicine is very important in the ayurvedic, folk, and herbal medicinal industry. Botanists invest a lot of time in identifying plant species by direct observation. Recognition of medicinal plants among various plant species is very difficult for ordinary people. So, in order to overcome these difficulties, we are developing an AI-based Automatic Classification system for classifying medicinal plants among the several plants. This is mostly useful for the society to identify the ayurvedic leaves, which can be used in traditional medicine. By using this system, normal people can easily recognize these medicinal plants. This study outlines a technique for classifying different medicinal plant species using color images of some medicinal plant species. With the aid of the pre-trained classifier VGG-19, the task is carried out utilizing transfer learning to increase accuracy. Image pre-processing, image augmentation, feature extraction, and recognition are the four main classification steps that are carried out as part of the overall model evaluation. By using pre-defined hidden layers like convolutional layers, max-pooling layers, and fully connected layers, the VGG-19 classifier is able to understand the features of leaves. After that, the soft-max layer is used to create a feature representation for all plant classes. In order to help estimate the correct class of an unidentified medicinal plant, the model gathers information about various medicinal plants, which contains around nineteen different classes. This system will classify the medicinal plant species with high accuracy. Identification and classification of medicinal plants are essential for better treatment.
