A forestry teacher at the university down the way
was walking along the road with some students. In his
hand was an iphone4s. So I was rude enough to interrupt
his class or lab, to ask what he was doing. I told him
I was a land surveyor. He was taking pictures of tree leaves,
one at a time. Then what happens, I asked. He said the iphone
either learns what it took a picture of or else displays the tree
name if it already had a sample in the iphone library.
That sounds great. How about a fire hydrant or a manhole?
Google Goggles does the same thing, but without paying up the nose.
It's a free app called Leafsnap. I use it regularly. You just take a picture of a leaf (it works best if you place the leaf on a white background, such as a sheet of paper) and it tells you what kind of tree it is.
here is an idea
Here is an idea... Learn the trees.
Seems like a great learning tool .
yea DDSM recommended it a few weeks ago. It is a nice progarm app. It is very limited at this time but if it is going to be enhgaced by user input then in the future it will be very nice.
I am still trying to ID the second tree. 🙁
and I need to prune the first tree at this time of year according to the Coop ext.
