I'm doing this kind of detection with animals.
There is a ruby opencv library, but it doesn't have 100% api coverage and
opencv can be a beast in its own right to install.

Stone Age. You will need a lot of samples, but there are a lot of
algorithms you aren't even considering.
You need to look more into Boosting, Bagging, and Stacking algorithms.
For starters look at AdaBoost or WaldBoost algorithm.
Also, check out Bag of Words and SIFT.

You need something like opencv.  I think the library you need is
ruby-opencv.
It can be found on github. Follow the instructions for installing opencv
with python first
and build it from source. Also, you are going to want to have fftw library
installed.

As for reading material, computer vision/ machine learning for plants has a
lot of literature.
Start using scholar.google.com and don't be afraid to ask people at other
.edu addresses for advise.

hope this helps.
