Description
FLORA INCOGNITA - DISCOVER THE DIVERSITY OF NATURE
What's blooming? With the Flora Incognita app, this question is quickly answered. Take a picture of a plant, find out what it's called and learn everything you want to know with the help of a fact sheet. Highly precise algorithms based on artificial intelligence identify wild plants even when they are not (yet) in bloom!
In the Flora Incognita app you can easily view all your collected plant finds in a observation list. Maps show where you have found your plants. This way you can see how your knowledge about wild plants is growing.
But Flora Incognita is even more! The app is free of charge and without advertising, because it is part of a scientific research project that aims to improve nature conservation. The collected observations are used to answer scientific research questions that deal, for example, with the spread of invasive species or the effects of climate change on biotopes.
In regular stories, you will learn about news from the project, get insights into the scientific work or will be made curious about what is happening in nature right now.
WHY SHOULD YOU USE FLORA INCOGNITA? - Identify wild plants simply by taking a photo with your smartphone - Learn more about plant species with the help of extensive plant profiles - Collect your findings in your observation list - Become part of an innovative scientific community - Share your findings on Twitter, Instagram & Co!
HOW GOOD IS FLORA INCOGNITA? Species identification with Flora Incognita is based on Deep Learning algorithms that have an accuracy of well over 90%. It is important to take sharp and as close as possible pictures of plant parts such as flower, leaf, bark or fruit for a high identification accuracy.

Very difficult to use. I uploaded a picture of a plant, but it never gave me a description of it.
