Saving earth’s biodiversity for future generations is an important global task, where automatic recognition of pollen species by means of computer vision represents a highly prioritized issue. This work focuses on analysis and classification stages. A combination of geometrical measures, Fourier descriptors of morphological details using Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) in order to select their most significant values, and colour information over decorrelated stretched images are proposed as pollen grains discriminative features. A Multi-Layer neural network was used as classifier applying scores fusion techniques. 17 tropical honey plant species have been classified achieving a mean of 96.49% ± 1.16 of success.
