At the National Science and Technology Contest for high school (HS) students of the 2020-2021 school year organized by the Ministry of Education and Training in Thua Thien Hue province in March, Trang Si Thai and Nguyen Tran Thanh Ngan – Grade 11B student Ly Tu Trong High School (Nha Trang City) won the third prize with The Plantae software – identifying and providing scientific information of plants. Plant identification applications With the desire to help students find more quickly and effectively about trees …, Thai and Ngan came up with the idea of ​​writing application software to help users identify and support information as well as the uses of species of herbs, plants … The two children said: “Currently, there are many plant identification products on the market, but few students pay attention and use them in learning. Therefore, we want to provide an easy and convenient way to access information flow, and at the same time increase students’ knowledge about these plants ”. The teacher instructed Thai and Ngan to study the rose tree. The software is written for the Android and iOS platforms with 2 main languages: English and Vietnamese. The mechanism of this application is that when the captured image is processed in many steps. After the image is sent to the server, the image will be analyzed and recognized. If the name matches the tree species in the system, the data about that plant species will be retrieved. In August 2020, Thai and Ngan software were officially published on the Google Play store for the Android platform under the installation link: dstteam.com/App-ThePlantae. In the process of implementing the project, the 2 students met many difficulties. “Our biggest obstacle is finding a source of medicinal herbs for analysis. In addition to the available medicinal plants being grown on the school campus, we have to actively seek and ask the guidance of the teacher to have more different species of plants outside, helping with the experiment. the software is more accurate ”, Thai expressed. Teacher Nguyen Lam – instructors Thai and Ngan said: “As teachers of Biology, to help them do scientific work and have extensive knowledge for each plant is one of the important steps. Therefore, I have supported and directed the two children to create diagrams of plant species so that they can synthesize all the knowledge of the curriculum quickly and effectively ”. 4,000 people installed and used Through nearly 10 months of development, The Plantae application on Android has been optimized and has about 4,000 people installed and using. The application supports users to recognize more than 12,000 species of herbs and plants. In addition, this application provides more information to the user about that plant species; Treatment directions for some species … Instructions for installing the software The Plantae. Mr. Lam said: “After the national science and technology competition, the software has been continuously updated, developed, and upgraded with new features to achieve more efficiency, smoother and more accurate … Currently, this application has been widely used by students; especially for students specializing in block B in the process of learning and searching information about plants, medicinal herbs … “. According to Thai and Ngan, in order to better support users, the software should be further researched and improved to improve the accuracy and speed of recognition processing. In addition, data on software also needs to be updated, so that, image data and scientific information about plants will be more complete and accurate. It is expected that in the near future, The Plantae will assist users in assessing the health status of plants, giving better instructions for plant care. THANH TRUC
