Identify Plants with an App
I did this for common plant diseases using Tensorflow on Android when learning how to use TF last year. Found the accuracy to be not that great with real world images that are not in the dataset (with a dataset of 50,000 images from PlantVillage). I think there are just too many visual similarities between various plants (especially when taken from various angles) that the network doesn't focus on the right things. Did a short writeup here:<p><a href="http://helminen.co/plant-disease" rel="nofollow">http://helminen.co/plant-disease</a><p>It could work for a subset of plants, or potentially with a much larger training set - but I think NIR spectral/hyperspectral imaging would be the way forward here with more differentiating data points.
