plant lens

Empowering nature lovers with instant plant recognition and educational insights through AI.

Inspiration

I wanted to make plant identification simple and fun. Many people love nature but struggle to recognize plants around them, so I built an app that bridges curiosity and technology.

What it does

Plant Pal lets users take a photo or scan a plant to instantly identify it. It provides the plant’s name, species details, and a short botanical profile — helping users learn and care for their plants better.

How we built it

The app uses an AI image‑classification model trained on plant datasets. I designed the interface with a clean dark‑green theme and implemented simplified authentication using name, age, and password, with optional Google sign‑in.

Challenges we ran into

  1. Fixing type errors and authentication bugs during deployment.
  2. Securing user data and plant photos against unauthorized access. 3.Balancing speed and accuracy in plant recognition.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

  1. Completed a fully functional plant‑identifier app with a smooth camera scan and AI recognition.
  2. Added secure login and optional Google sign‑in.
  3. Achieved a clean, modern UI that feels natural to use.

What's next for plant lens

  1. How to integrate an AI image‑classification model into a real app and fine‑tune it for plant datasets.
  2. Building Plant Pal showed us how AI can be applied to everyday problems like plant care and biodiversity awareness.
