Plant Identification Startup (not only cannabis)

Two czech guys created really great startup that uses Machine Learning (Artificial Intelligence) algorithms to identify plant species… (From technical standpoint they use image-recognition software TensorFlow and Inception v3 over their own tailored dataset.)

Try it for yourself :wink: https://plant.id

(I’ve borrowed close-up pic from LED_Seedz to test :slight_smile: )

They also have Android and iOS app: http://www.flowerchecker.com … This app works differently. It is not machine learning automated software, but phone app actually sends photo to botanist for identification. As I understand it, it also helps to create big dataset for plant.id to train artificial intelligence.

I’ll have a chance to meet and talk with authors in person tomorrow. Please test plant.id project and post your results so we can give them proper feedback! :slight_smile: :four_leaf_clover: thanks in advance!

It’s kind of slow off the get go, but then again my boy is hogging playing xbox… Haven’t gotten it to load fully.

Hey there @Tinytuttle. Been a while bud. Hope alls well in your neck of the woods. Pun semi intended. :wink:

Got it to work after everyone went to bed. Tried it with the X18 flower top shot and was told it was sativa. It’s a landrace indica cross. Need to try it with some flower shots.

I think according to the current mindset all Cannabis is classified as sativa, and the indica, sativa, ruderalis titles aren’t considered separate.

I had the idea for this app like 6 years ago… They always told me I should chase my dreams… Haha

Really awesome though. I’ll be getting much use from this app.

Now there’s a launch screen on the home page. Got myself a few good shots of blooming local flowers to try.

i think it’d be awesome if there was an option to enter a picture by URL instead of only upload pic/take pic, also i can’t figure out how to upload a second picture… going back to the homepage only shows one option now “See your identification” - i have to delete my cache or cookies or whatever to try again.

i tried a picture of @Calyxander ‘coleus’ - not sure if its the same thing

From Wiki: Plectranthus scutellarioides, commonly known as coleus

Works really well. First thing I did is head out the back to where my outdoor bag seeds are growing and used it to identify the girls neighbours. I also took a picture of the girls and it identified them as what they are. If an app could be developed that could identify strains would be awsome.
