Leafsnap: An Electronic Field Guide

Here's something I ran across that might be interesting to those with IPhones/IPads........

Leafsnap: An Electronic Field Guide

Leafsnap is the first in a series of electronic field guides being developed by researchers from Columbia University, the University of Maryland, and the Smithsonian Institution. This free mobile app uses visual recognition software to help identify tree species from photographs of their leaves.
Leafsnap contains beautiful high-resolution images of leaves, flowers, fruit, petiole, seeds, and bark. Leafsnap currently includes the trees of the Northeast and will soon grow to include the trees of the entire continental United States.
This website shows the tree species included in Leafsnap, the collections of its users, and the team of research volunteers working to produce it.


Looks pretty interesting.....hope they come out with an Android version.

From their webpage:
When will there be an Android version of Leafsnap?
We have one under development, but since the app is free and the work is being done by volunteers, we do not have a release date, nor a firm guess as to when this will be.

Keep us posted if you notice it's made one day - I think it sounds pretty neat!
