Columbia University, the University of Maryland, and the Smithsonian
Institution have pooled their expertise to create the world's first
plant identification mobile app using visual search. Leafsnap allows
users to identify tree species simply by taking a photograph of the
tree's leaves. Use this app to learn about plants in your own
backyard <http://go.si.edu/site/R?i=bPJK8mUhaxSWEZaaDmtWlQ..>and also
contribute to the Leafsnap database. As people use Leafsnap, the free
mobile app automatically shares images and tree locations with
scientists who can then monitor tree populations throughout the U.S.
