Plant Identification with Python and OpenCV

Group

Carver Science Fair Project at Springside Chestnut Hill Academy

Date

December 2019-February 2019

Location

Philadelphia, PA

Skills

Python, OpenCV, Microsoft Excel

Objective

Build a program that can identify invasive species of plants that could be implemented to reduce their spread. The initial prototype used three species invasive to the Wissahickon watershed – Garlic Mustard, Japanese Knotweed, and Japanese Stiltgrass.

Role

Independent Research Project

Results

I presented my project at the Carver Science Fair and won a First Place Medal along with the Geiger Award for Ingenuity.

Reflection

This project taught me how to take a multidisciplinary approach to research, combining both the biological sciences and programming software.
