The "if it's small, it's a weed" is probably ok for a v1.0 product. They might want to talk to Toshiba - they bought IBM's retail Point-of-Sale business a few years ago, and they had a product called "Veggie Vision" [1] that identified produce at the cash register via a camera.
Insert "Not Hotdog" joke here, but having a wifi connection to the cloud where heavy-duty weed classification software could be run would keep the device costs low.

Actually I would like to insert here that time the connection was down for half an hour and the thingy eradicated all aunt Julia's plants, and it's not a joke (at least according to aunt Julia, who didn't laugh at all).
