About ArboretumID

• ArboretumIdentifier (ArboretumID) is an app that enhances the Penn State Arboretum experience through AR and ML.
• Using the iPhone’s camera, ArborIdentifier scans the placard in front of any plant, and delivers rich details and descriptions about it.
• ArboretumID provides Penn State students, alumni, and visitors of any age the opportunity to explore the incredible collections of plants, flowers, and trees at the Penn State Arboretum in a whole new way!

Features

Home Tab:

• Describes The Arboretum at Penn State and its Collections
• Introduces ArborID application

Explore Tab:

• Uses data from PlantFinder for Plant Attributes to build out Collections
  • Remotely loads images for plants, and provides an 'Image Coming Soon' for plants that do not yet have images available.
• Shows all 11 Collections with Images at The Arboretum
• Each Collection has Plants with Images
• Each Plant has a DetailView showing Image, Name, Location, Taxon Name, Family, Genus

Capture Tab:

• Uses CoreML pre-trained model to detect and label plants as one of 5 types:
  • Daisy, Dandelion, Rose, Sunflower, Tulip
• Provides users with 3 Capture Options:
  • Photo Library, Photo Capture, Live Preview
• Each capture option will return its prediction of what label to assign to an image, and its confidence percentage
• In the future, more training data and labels can be added to the model to expand its capabilities

Around Me Tab:

• Provides a SwiftUI Map view of the Arboretum, with annotations on where plants are
• Displayed annotations can be filtered by Collection
