About this APK

Flora Capture is an app by Technische Universität Ilmenau in the Education category, listed since at least March 2023. It includes native code for x86 32-bit, x86 64-bit, ARM 32-bit and ARM 64-bit, so it runs on practically every phone.

Since version 2.4.1, the minimum Android version rose from 4.4W to 7.0. It asks for 7 permissions, 4 of them sensitive, including precise location, approximate location and read media images. Compared with version 2.4.1, it adds 1 new permission (“Read media images”) and drops 3 (“Camera”, “Read shared storage” and “Control vibration”).

What's new in v2.4.31

You can now export your complete observation list with species name and location. We have fixed some minor bugs and integrated additional languages. Welcome Finland and Portugal! Problems with some cameras have been fixed.

Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

You like to photograph plants, you have an eye for details or you are an experienced botanist? Then support our "Flora Incognita" team! With the Flora Capture App you can capture native wild plants from different angles - without damaging or even removing them from site. Optionally in the field or later at home, you can upload your observations and have them determined by our botanists. Images of flowering wild plants from fixed angles serve to train the algorithms for image recognition that are used in our Flora Incognita App. In addition, these images allow us to test new image recognition techniques to enhance the automatic determination of species in our Flora Incognita App (also available for free download). We are always looking for collaboration with experienced botanists who help us to fill our image database of plants that are difficult to identify. Important: - Unfortunately, we cannot consider all ornamental and garden plants for the time being. Please also take a look at Flora Incognita, with which you can identify plant species in a matter of seconds! The Flora Incognita apps are a common effort of the Technical University Ilmenau and the Max Planck Institute for Biogeochemistry Jena. Their development was funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research, the Federal Agency for Nature Conservation with funds from the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety as well as the Thuringian Ministry for Environment, Energy and Nature Conservation and the Thuringia Nature Conservation Foundation. The project was recognized as an official project of the "UN Decade of Biodiversity".
