Jena! Wenn Ihr zur Langen Nacht der Wissenschaft #LNDW unterwegs seid, kommt gern um 19:00 zu unserem Vortrag im Hörsaal des @MPI_BGC! Was erwartet Euch? --> floraincognita.de/7-dinge-di…
Am 22. November 2024 findet in Jena die Lange Nacht der Wissenschaften statt. Über diese Veranstaltung kannst Du Dich auf der Webseite der LNDW informieren: Lange Nacht der Wissenschaften (LNDW) Jena Wir möchten Dich zu einem ganz besonderen Vortrag einladen, der 19:00 im Hörsaal des Max-Planck-Instituts für Biogeochemie stattfinden wird: 7 Dinge, die Du noch nicht über Flora Incognita wusstest! Warum musste Pflanzenbestimmung neu gedacht werden? Wie entwickelt und betreibt man eigentlich eine App? Sind die Bestimmungen überhaupt verlässlich und was sagen uns die Daten über den Klimawandel oder den pH-Wert des Bodens? Diese und andere Fragen möchte das Team um Projektleiterin Dr. Jana Wäldchen in einem Vortrag beantworten. Die Wissenschaftler*innen geben hierbei Einblicke „hinter die Kulissen“ der beliebten Pflanzenbestimmungsapp und stehen im Anschluss von 20-21 Uhr für persönliche Gespräche bereit.

[New paper] We investigated if AI can recognize subtle morphological differences between populations based on smartphone images. The results show: yes, AI can reliably identify characteristic features of leaves even with complex image backgrounds. #XAI floraincognita.com/blog/2024…

Mit der neuesten Version von Flora Incognita bekommt Ihr ein Feature, was sich sehr oft gewünscht wurde: Ihr seht nun, wie oft Ihr eine Art schon gefunden habt. Für die, die jede Art nur einmal sammeln wollen, ist das nun deutlich einfacher. Also, updated Eure App!
