Flora Incognita Status

Its development was supported by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research, the German Federal Agency for Nature Conservation with funds from the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety as well as the Thuringian Ministry for the Environment, Energy and Nature Conservation and the Foundation for Nature Conservation Thuringia.  FloraIncognita is free of charge and without advertising, because it is part of a scientific research project that aims to improve nature conservation.  Species identification with Flora Incognita is based on Deep Learning algorithms that have an accuracy of well over 90%.  In regular stories, you will learn about news from the project, get insights into the scientific work or will be made curious about what is happening in nature right now.  The collected observations are used to answer scientific research questions that deal, for example, with the spread of invasive species or the effects of climate change on biotopes.  The Flora Incognita app is developed by scientists from the Technical University of Ilmenau and the Max Planck Institute for Biogeochemistry Jena.  In the Flora Incognita app you can easily view all your collected plant finds in a observation list.  It is important to take sharp and as close as possible pictures of plant parts such as flower, leaf, bark or fruit for a high identification accuracy.  The project was awarded as an official project of the "UN Decade of Biodiversity" and won the Thuringian Research Award in 2020.  Highly precise algorithms based on artificial intelligence identify wild plants even when they are not (yet) in bloom!  You can use Flora Incognita anytime, as long as you want.  With the Flora Incognita app, this question is quickly answered.  Take a picture of a plant, find out what it's called and learn everything you want to know with the help of a fact sheet.  But Flora Incognita is even more!  You can find us on Twitter (@Flora_Incognita), Instagram (@flora. incognita) and Facebook (@flora. incognita).  IS FloraIncognita REALLY FREE OF CHARGE AND ADVERTISING? Yes.
