Hello! I am Ogamari.
April has arrived and the number of sunny days is increasing. More and more flowers are blooming along the paths of the school, and we can feel the springtime.
I was holding hands with my daughter as we walked to and from school, talking about how cute the red flowers are and how beautiful the yellow flowers are, but I realized that I didn't know the names of any flowers at all...! I realized that I didn't know any of the names of the flowers, so I searched for an app that would allow me to look up the names of flowers quickly!
Just hold up your phone to find out the name of the flower!
We would like to introduce a smartphone application called "Hananona. Developed by the Artificial Intelligence and Software Technology Research Center at the Chiba Institute of Technology, this application displays the names of flowers by simply holding up a smartphone.
The system uses artificial intelligence learned through deep learning to determine the type of flower, and there are 792 types that can be recognized!
This Hananona has become a hot topic on social networking sites as an app to make neighborhood walks more enjoyable for Corona disaster. I didn't know that..!
Hananona is equipped with two modes: "search mode" and "shooting mode.
The search mode recognizes multiple flowers on the screen and displays the name of each.
Just hold your phone up to the flower and the name will appear immediately!
The percentage displayed under the name of the flower indicates the probability of a match between the flower and its name to be examined. You can adjust the percentage by using the adjustment bar below. You can also adjust the percentage by using the adjustment bar below. On the other hand, if you want a little hint, you may want to lower the filter precision.
This mode is useful when you want to know the names of various types of flowers at once, such as in a bouquet!
The shooting mode displays the name of one flower and allows you to shoot the flower and name together.
In addition to saving the photos you take on your device, you can also share them as they are. many people on X (formerly Twitter) posted images of flowers they had taken with the hashtag "# Hananona"! You can become more familiar with flowers just by looking at them.
Other images stored on the device can also be judged.
Since it is an AI judgment, there is no guarantee that 100% is correct, but it is fun to reexamine the results and learn about similar flowers based on the results!
By the way, when I took a picture of my daughter's face, it showed "grass family" (laughs).
By all means, put Hananona in your smartphone this spring and take a stroll around town!
Incidentally, you can also look up information about a subject in the photo application that comes with the iPhone from the start!

Unlike Hananona, you need to take pictures, but it is convenient because you can examine them later at your leisure!
Child of the Week.
My child has moved up to the 1-year-old class at the nursery school. With the addition of new friends, my child is a little nervous.
