Plants, which are a part of nature, are used for different reasons, such as alternative medicine as well as adding beauty to our environment. In such cases requiring expertise, the misinformation spread among the public and the use of poisonous plants considering that they are medicinal causes problems that can go up to death. In this study, it is aimed to solve these problems through a system that determines the species of leaves in leaf images using artificial intelligence techniques. Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), one of the most widely used artificial intelligence techniques, has been used recently. Its multi-layer structure, having many parameters and being able to learn features without requiring too much pre-processing is one of the reasons why it is used in many studies. In this study, the training of the convolutional neural network was carried out separately with 5 different data sets consisting of leaf images with a fixed background, and the effect of these training parameters on training was investigated. A combined data set consisting of 270 species obtained by combining these data sets was created. A general purpose leaf classification model is obtained with convolutional neural network. The results obtained by the classification process were compared with the studies in the literature. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
