Accurate identification of plant species from aerial images
One of my cherished ideas has been to build a mobile AR application to identify mushrooms. This is the time of year again when I am spending hours in the Finnish forest picking the most delicious mushrooms one can imaging.
Mentioning this today at lunch was a good idea. I was informed of a recent Fujitsu project, where they have enhanced a normal GPS service to identify different vegetation on earth. Before, looking at the GPS images one could only see green. Now with the new Fujitsu technology, one is able to identify different kinds of trees.
Use cases for this technology are of course many - really exciting - but for me it would be another enabler in finding the best chanterelle accumulations. Anyone care to join me in developing this app?
