Hello!

I've published a neural network for semantically segmenting duckweed fronds in a laboratory context. It also comes with the ability to count fronds using image moments.

The model was trained on 92 manually segmented Lemna minuta plates. Weights are included in the repo with a simple CLI interface to pass images through!

Take a peak!

Twice The Protein Of Eggs. Grows In 7 Days. Why Every Government Wants It Gone.

The video sounds pretty sensationalist, but the information seem correct from a quick check and it might be kind of a conspiracy.

Duckweed was actually approved as "Novel Food" by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) in 2025.

Is #duckweed really as awesome a source of protein as this video is trying to tell me? I can totally see how it would it would disrupt agriculture industries, if so.

Took a friend to the #JapaneseGardens in Esquimalt-Gorge Waterway Park. They'd never been there before & really enjoyed it 😊

Just playing around with mirror edit with a simple #pond stone & some vibrant green #duckweed 💚

Do you see some abstract faces & creatures in this?
