Business challenges

 
  • The customer wanted to provide an easy way for people to identify plants, by just uploading a photo of the fruit, leaves, or flower.
  • Existing solutions made use of crowd sourcing, which could take days or even weeks. Our customer wanted users to get accurate, detailed answers instantly, without having to wait for an 'expert review' or resorting to guesswork.
  • There are more than 300,000 species of plants, which necessitated collation of over 90 million images.

Solution

 
  • The mobile app development team at Flatworld Edge first created a database of tens of thousands of plant species along with photographs to identify them, and detailed information about each species.
  • Our team created an efficient and user friendly app that delivers instant results by searching in the app database.
  • The app works even with low resolution pictures as long as the flower or fruit is in the center of the frame, and is clicked with the right exposure.
  • If the app is unable to identify a plant, it offers options for the user to choose the best match.
