Abstract
Paphiopedilum, a native orchid of Thailand, gains attractive today. Identifying the species of this
orchid becomes essential. However, complex striped of the flower lead to miss-understand the

species of Paphiopedilum. Only the expert on orchid can identify the species correctly. In order to
identify this orchid accurately, the identification system is proposed. There are four pharses: 1)
Orchid information aquistion 2) Image segmentation 3) Comparison of HSV, shape and compactness
and 4) Implementation The objective of this paper is to reveal the result of pharse II: Image
segmentation. All six segmentation techniques are run on MATLAB R2008B. The result shows that
Threshold-based image segmentation and Laplacian of Gaussian segmentation split the foreground
and background of the image separately. These two techniques will be implemented in the
identification system in the near future.
