Pl@ntNet mobile app

ABSTRACT

Pl@ntNet is an image sharing and retrieval application for the identification of plants, available on iPhone and iPad devices. Contrary to previous content-based identification applications it can work with several parts of the plant including flowers, leaves, fruits and bark. It also allows integrating user's observations in the database thanks to a collaborative workflow involving the members of a social network specialized on plants. Data collected so far makes it one of the largest mobile plant identification tool.
