Right now either they are from Wikipedia, or they are from one of the stores selling plants. I have been reaching out to many stores to request permission to use their images in this way and luckily a few have been kind enough to grant it. Those are the images I use. If you scroll down far enough though you will see there is still a need for many more.
- giarc 2y agoCould you use AI to generate images for those you don't have a real photo of yet?
- ryebread777 2y agoI experimented with that few months ago and it was very bad unfortunately. Though it may have improved. Probably for common plants it would work excellent (bell pepper, monstera) but most of the plants on the site are fairly obscure, especially the ones without images. I wouldn’t want to create a misleading image. Another AI approach might be to create simple illustrations of plants I don’t have images for, using other images as reference. I haven’t explored that yet!
- berkes 2y agoPl@ntnet has a dataset of 300k images of plants released under Creative Commons https://zenodo.org/records/5645731#.YeGDOdvjKWh https://zenodo.org/records/5645731#.YeGDOdvjKWh
- ryebread777 2y agoAwesome!! Surprised I didn’t know that as I’ve explored plantnet in the past. I’ll add those in!
