Inspiration
Yearning to spare innocent lives from the dangers they would otherwise be unaware of, such as the widespread death that resulted from oleander consumption in Sri Lanka.
What it does
Informs the user if the plant they took a photo of is poisonous or not
How we built it
Created our own plant database API containing poisonous and nonpoisonous plants, which we used to classify the user's input using machine learning software on XCode.
Challenges we ran into
Creating a plant API large enough to be accurate in plant identification.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
It worked!
What we learned
API, machine learning, how to use XCode
What's next for Snapplants
Location pinpoints of recent poisonous plant activity from recent users to inform other users of nearby dangers
