I tried using the application `` Hananana '' that AI will immediately tell you the name of the flower that aimed the camera for free

When you point the camera at a flower, the AI app that tells you the name of the flower in an instant, ' Hananana ', is available. It was created in a research project at the Artificial Intelligence and Software Technology Research Center of Chiba Institute of Technology, and there are 770 types of flowers that can be judged. It is said that it can be used for free, so I actually tried using it.

'Hananana app' on the App Store

First, access the above URL and tap 'Get'.

Tap “Install” ……

Open the app.

If you agree to the terms of use, tap 'Agree and start'.

Since the use of the camera is mandatory, tap 'OK' in 'Hannana wants access to the camera'.

The camera will start immediately. I immediately found an azalea, so when I pointed the camera at it, it turned out to be '

Satsuki ', a plant of the azalea family. Satsuki is similar to azalea, but leaves and flowers are slightly different. It also shows how accurately the types of flowers are judged, such as '100%' and '93%'.

When I pointed the camera at another flower, it was shown to be

Manjukiku with about 90% accuracy. There is a slide at the bottom of the screen, and it is 75% by default, but ...

If you lower it to 10%, 72% will display 'long head cornflower' and 65% will display 'manjugiku' with lower precision. AI may not be able to guess the flower name with high accuracy, so in such a case it is also ant to lower the slider and guess the flower name from the option with low accuracy.

In addition, try pressing the camera icon at the bottom of the screen ……

The camera will start up like this, so tap the shutter button.

Then, a link of Wikipedia was displayed to obtain more information, assuming that the flower is 'Rose'. If you tap 'Wikipedia', you will open the Wikipedia page that describes the flowers in the browser, but this time tap 'Decide'.

From the 'Share' button ...

You can share photos.

Tap 'OK' again ...

You can save a photo with the name of a flower like this.

If you want to take and save a photo without a name, select 'Hide' and it's OK.

As I walk around looking for flowers to use in the app, I notice that there are more flowers than I expected in my neighborhood.

Silane ...

Evening primrose

It seems that the oilseed oilseed rape has a slightly different petal shape, etc ...

The name of a flower that I have never heard of called

Oxalis brasiliensis ...

Prickly rug etc. It is interesting to know that flowers that we normally only recognize as 'weeds' also have names. In addition, Chichikogusa was described in Wikipedia as 'a plant that is interesting but has a plain shape.'

There is also a plant with a unique name, 'Squash Burdock'.

Also, even if the flower is not blooming, it seems that the leaf can be used to guess the plant name.

Although there is no Android application, there is also a browser version Hanana that will teach you the name of the flower when you upload the picture of the flower you took.
