1,3 milliard de photos : les dessous de PlantNet, l’application qui reconnaît les plantes - Les mots ont un sens

PlantNet, souvent vendu comme le « Shazam des plantes », est une appli sympa pour épater ses potes. Mais derrière l’appli grand public, il y a surtout un vrai outil scientifique nourri par les photos des utilisateurs.

Flora Indica

For the first time, Kew’s recovered collections of Indian botanical art are brought together with the remarkable stories of the artists who painted them, the colonial context in which they were made, and their essential role in the development of botanical knowledge. Featuring a representative selection of one hundred artworks from the previously fractured, uncatalogued, and largely inaccessible collection of over seven thousand Indian illustrations in Kew’s archives, Flora Indica foregrounds the vital role of Indian artists in helping to advance both scientific knowledge and the aesthetics of botanical art. The botanical watercolors, created between 1790 and 1850, were commissioned by British botanists, many of whom were employed by the East India Company to document India’s rich plant diversity. The text by leading expert Henry Noltie reveals the lost stories of how these illustrations came to be, exploring the work of twenty Indian artists from eleven collections, with nineteen named individuals and thirty previously unseen illustrations. Noltie’s extensive research into these hidden histories features plants native to South Asia alongside exotics introduced from the then-emerging international network of botanical gardens, taking readers on a journey that explores the environments in which these master artists worked. The style of the works represents a unique fusion of traditional Indian artistry and techniques with botanists’ demands for naturalism and scientific specificity from an Indo-British perspective. Presented with a foreword by art historian William Dalrymple, Flora Indica illuminates Kew’s beautiful Indian botanical art collection, through which readers are invited to discover the important lost histories of Indian botanical art from the age of empire.

Eu uso o #plantnet há bastante tempo pra identificar espécies vegetais com a câmera (e como engenheiro de machine learning, te digo que o bagulho é bem feito de verdade).

Mas de uma semana pra cá, eu e várias pessoas não conseguimos mais sequer abrir o aplicativo. Dava um erro de problema de conectividade. Entrei em contato e o desenvolvedor resolveu o problema na hora. Deu que o servidor deles tava com problema no certificado de alguns modelos de Android. Se eu não tivesse lhes avisado, muita gente ainda estaria sem conseguir usar o aplicativo sabe-se lá até quando.

Resumo da história: se vc usa algum aplicativo feito por um time pequeno (ou como esse, que é de uma universidade), se não puder contribuir com dinheiros, contribua com feedbacks e avisos quando algo quebra. Muito provavelmente não contam com muita mão-de-obra pra controle de qualidade e isso é uma mão na roda pra eles.

And if you are interested, #PlantNet says that photo is in fact a young dogwood sapling, which has grown from the dropped fruit of a nearby Kousa dogwood tree.

Tempted to try eating some of these red berries I saw along the NJ shore. #PlantNet is over 97% sure that they are Autumn Berries, and who am I to argue with #AI classifiers?
