The mobile phone app that can identify a tree by its leaf

[super jumbe]

Leafsnap uses face-recognition software to identify a species of tree. Can it create a new generation of conservationists?
To date, the world of mobile phone apps has largely left me cold. Yes, I can see how you can easily lose an hour of your life ? or more ? to Angry Birds. But the most interesting and potentially useful developments I have seen so far are apps such as Shazam and RedLaser. The power to identify and recognise non-text based things such as images and music points to just how potent and useful mobile phones are becoming.
It now appears that we could be about to reach a significant new landmark. An app has just been launched that can identify a species of tree from a photograph of its leaf. Apps exist already that help you identify flora and fauna ? the Forestry Commission recently launched an app called ForestXplorer for identifying trees ? but they have traditionally relied on the user deducing the species from a list of possible characteristics.



I wound like a mobile to recenise if my women is in good mode tonight.

Not sure about mood but you can run a full penetration testing suite from your phone.
