Inspiration

Looking after plants can be good for your mental health, however its easy to overwater plants and not know what sort of plant they are.

What it does

Allows you to upload a picture of a plant and it will tell you what sort of plant it is using machine learning. It will then add this plant to your virtual collection where it will give you details about how to look after the plant.

How we built it

We use a support vector machine classifier in sklearn to classify the images of plants. We used random search to optimise the hyperparameters of the model to improve performance.

The frontend was built using React and Tailwind. The backend machine learning element was connected to the frontend using Flask.

Challenges we ran into

It was quite difficult to find a good plant image dataset with labels that we could use to train our machine learning model.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Connecting the frontend with the backend machine learning element.
