Automatic discrimination of plant species is required for precision farming and for advanced environmental protection. Here, we investigated the discriminative potential of chlorophyll fluorescence imaging in a case study using three closely related plant species of the family Lamiaceae. We compared discriminative potential of eight classifiers and four feature selection methods to identify the fluorescence parameters that can yield the highest contrast between the species. The ability of the combinatorial statistical techniques for discriminating the species was compared to the resolving power of conventional fluorescence parameters and found to be more efficient.
