I use the flowerchecker app http://www.flowerchecker.com/ where you have to pay a small fee per plant identification. It actually uses real human biologists to identify the plant.

#52A similar app was released a while ago, I'd love to compare the two. For reference: http://leafsnap.com/

You mean college students?

#55I did this for common plant diseases using Tensorflow on Android when learning how to use TF last year. Found the accuracy to be not that great with real world images that are not in the dataset (with a dataset of 50,000 images from PlantVillage). I think there are just too many visual similarities between various plants (especially when taken from various angles) that the network doesn't focus on the right things. D…
Not an expert -- would this be a result of training data doing a much better job isolating the subject vs a real world photo that may have other plants in the scene? Not that this is a solution in all cases, but is it possible your results would have improved with better real world pictures?

#56I trained my kids, first for mushrooms, then for flowers and trees. They are better then any app :). But definitely would love to have an app to confirm our findings sometimes.

I don't know a lot about the service, but two of the three experts are not students. The third is a PhD student which I hold in a higher regard in terms of knowledge than a typical undergrad college student. If they identify accurately I'd think it matters even less. Also, only $1 so you get what you pay for?

#59WTF 150K of his own money in 5 years? I don't think at a business level this is wise under any circumstances for a bootstrapped project.
Unless you have a ton of money to waste and this is your caprice. Of course.

In fact. There is a better product, Google Goggles - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.and...
I don't know if the mention was intentional or not, but Goggles is actually dead as a product. They removed it from the iOS app, and the android app is not supported, while staying in the store. In this respect, as the GP says, image search is currently the best option
Goggles (the concept) isn't dead. They moved the functionality into Google Assistant so you didn't need the app. Just hold down the home button so it takes a picture of the camera view.
