Description

Method, computer system and storage medium for presenting distribution of plants

Technical Field

The present disclosure relates to the field of computer technology, and in particular, to a method, computer system, and storage medium for presenting a distribution of plants.

Background

In the field of computer technology, there are numerous applications for detecting and identifying objects, for example for identifying plants, which generally present information about detected or identified plants.

However, existing applications are difficult to present in an intuitive and flexible way for distribution information of plants associated with their geographical location. Distribution information may refer to information associated with attributes of the vegetation (such as invasiveness, toxicity, etc.) over a geographic area. An invasive plant may refer to a plant that is foreign (not native) and is determined to be invasive based on government published data, regulations of law and regulation, etc., that is present in the field. For the same plant, this information may vary with geographic location.

Detailed Description

Various exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that: the relative arrangement of the components and steps, the numerical expressions, and numerical values set forth in these embodiments do not limit the scope of the present disclosure unless specifically stated otherwise. In the following description, numerous details are set forth in order to better explain the present disclosure, however it is understood that the present disclosure may be practiced without these details.

The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative in nature and is in no way intended to limit the disclosure, its application, or uses. In all examples shown and discussed herein, any particular value should be construed as merely illustrative, and not limiting.

Techniques, methods, and apparatus known to those of ordinary skill in the relevant art may not be discussed in detail but are intended to be part of the specification where appropriate.

Fig. 1 is a flow diagram illustrating a method 100 for presenting a distribution of plants in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure. The computer Application (APP) that performs the method 100 may be a distributed APP that presents plants to a user. The method 100 may identify a species of the plant based on the image and present a profile and associated field information for the species based on the identified species. A profile of a species may illustrate distribution information for the species associated with a geographic location. From the profile, the distribution of the species at various locations can be intuitively understood, such as to know whether the identified species is an indigenous species, an invasive species, or a toxic species in a certain area of interest to the user. The field information may include alerts, reminders, descriptions, announcements, treatment methods, etc. associated with the species. As shown in fig. 1, the method 100 may include steps S11 through S13.

At step S11, the species of the plant may be identified based on the image.

In embodiments of the present disclosure, an image may refer to an image that includes one or more plants to be identified. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that if no plants are included in the image, the identification may not be performed or the user may be notified of the identification failure, or the species of plants closest to the received image (or the target in the image) may be identified. In some embodiments, the image may include all of the plant or only a portion of the plant. As a non-limiting example, the imagery may include any one or combination of at least a portion of the roots, stems, leaves, flowers, fruits, and seeds of the plant to be identified. In some embodiments, the imagery may be images previously stored by the user, taken in real-time, or downloaded from a network. In some embodiments, imagery may include any form of visual presentation, such as still images, moving images, and video, among others. In some embodiments, the imagery may be images taken by the user or images that the user wishes to identify but are not taken by the user.

In embodiments of the present disclosure, identifying may refer to any known image-based method of plant identification. In some embodiments, the species of the plant may be identified by the computing device and a pre-trained class recognition model. In some embodiments, before the recognition using the classification recognition model, the image may be subject to object detection, and then the classification recognition model is used to respectively recognize the detected one or more objects. For example, the attention model may be used to detect the regions of each plant in the image, and then each region may be identified.

In embodiments of the present disclosure, a species may refer to a basic unit of a plant to be identified in biological taxonomy, i.e., a species. It should be understood, however, that the meaning of species is not limited thereto, but may include any information that can distinguish the plant from other plants. As a non-limiting example, identifying a species of a plant may refer to identifying a name of the plant, such as a common name, an alias, a colloquial name (informal name), a scholarly name, and the like.

At step S12, a map may be acquired based on location information from the user.

In embodiments of the present disclosure, the location information from the user may refer to a geographic location from the user. In some embodiments, the geographic location may be the current location of the user, may be the location where the user was when the image was taken, or may be a location of interest specified by the user.

In embodiments of the present disclosure, the map may refer to a world map, may refer to a country map, and may also refer to a map of a smaller area, such as a province/state map, a city map, and the like. It should be understood that the map may not be limited to a map divided by administrative divisions, but may include a map depicting any geographic area.

In an embodiment of the present disclosure, acquiring a map based on location information from a user may include acquiring a map of a geographic area corresponding to the location information according to the location information. As a non-limiting example, where the location information indicates the current location of the user, the map may be a map of a geographic area in which the user is currently located.

At step S13, a map may be rendered according to the distribution information of the identified species to obtain a distribution map of the plants.

In embodiments of the present disclosure, the distribution information of the species may include attribute information of the species associated with the geographic sub-region. In some embodiments, the attribute information may indicate that the species belongs to any one of a local original species, an invasive species, a toxic species, a cultivated species, a potentially invasive species in the geographic sub-area. Wherein, the native protospecies may refer to species existing in the field and native; an invasive species may refer to a species that exists in the field, is foreign, and is determined to be invasive (e.g., based on government published data, regulations of laws and regulations, etc.); a toxic species may refer to a species that is present in the field, foreign, toxic to an organism, but not determined to be invasive; cultivated species may refer to species cultivated as landscape plants or house plants; a potentially invasive species may refer to a species that is present in the field and suspected to be invasive. It should be understood that the distribution information is not so limited, but may include any attribute associated with the geographic distribution of the species.

In an embodiment of the present disclosure, a database, a data table, or a data file recording distribution information of a species may be obtained in advance from an official report (e.g., government-published data, regulations of laws and regulations, etc.) from an external source.

In an embodiment of the present disclosure, a database, a data table, or a data file may be established in advance to record distribution information of species based on information acquired from a user. In some embodiments, a number of images of a plant taken by a user may be acquired while acquiring location information from the user, wherein the images include at least a portion of the plant. Then, species and environmental information of the plant may be identified based on the images, and the environmental information may be stored as tag information in a database, a data table, or a data file in association with the corresponding images and/or the species identified based on the images. As non-limiting examples, the environmental information may include a classification of the plant in the image, a part of the plant in the image, a growing region of the plant in the image, a growing period of the plant in the image, an image quality of the image, and the like. In this way, distribution information of species in a database, data table or data file can be supplemented based on tag information. For example, distribution information indicating that the identified plant has a distribution at the geographical location of the user, that the identified plant belongs to a garden growing plant or a house plant at the geographical location of the user, or the like may be recorded in a database, a data table, or a data file based on the location information of the user, the species of the identified plant, and/or the tag information. In some embodiments, tag information for the plant and/or imagery including the plant may also be obtained directly from the user. As a non-limiting example, tag information obtained directly from a user may indicate that the plant belongs to a local species, an invasive species, a toxic species, a cultivated species, a potentially invasive species, etc. at the user's geographic location. In some embodiments, after obtaining the tag information and/or environmental information submitted by the user, a secondary review may be performed after identifying the species of the plant, and if the review confirms the information submitted by the user, the information may be stored as supplemental information in a database, a data table, or a data file for later use when rendering of the map is required.

For a species such as a native indigenous species, the distribution information of the species in various geographic regions (geographic sub-regions) may be relatively constant over a significant period of time. For species such as invasive species, the distribution information of the species in various geographical areas (geographical sub-areas) may change over time, so that the distribution information needs to be updated in time and is usually different in different geographical areas. Thus, in some embodiments, the distribution information of the species may be updated in a timely manner, whether the distribution information is from a self-established database, data table, or data file, or from a database, data table, or data file obtained from an external source.

In embodiments of the present disclosure, rendering a map may refer to identifying, in respective sub-areas of the map, respective distribution information of plants in respective geographic sub-areas. Fig. 2-4 schematically illustrate at least a portion of an interface according to an embodiment of the disclosure, the

map partitions

201, 301, and 401 in the

interfaces

200, 300, 400 illustrated in fig. 2-4 presenting rendered profiles. These profiles identify in each sub-area of the map the respective attributes of the vegetation in the respective geographical sub-area by colour, i.e. each sub-area of the map is coloured by a different colour corresponding to the attribute information. Wherein green indicates a local original species, red indicates an invasive species, light pink indicates a toxic species, light green indicates a cultivated species, pink indicates a potential invasive species, and the dataless sub-region is rendered without color. It should be understood that the manner in which the map is rendered is not limited to painting, but may include any method by which identification may be made. As a non-limiting example, rendering the map may include labeling respective text in various sub-regions of the map.

In embodiments of the present disclosure, the profile of the same species presented to different users may be different due to different location information for different users.

In the present disclosure, the map to be rendered may include a plurality of different maps. As a non-limiting example, the maps may include a country map and a world map, and the distribution plots may include country map-based distribution plots of plants and world map-based distribution plots of plants. In some embodiments, it may be determined whether to present a country map-based profile of the plant and a world map-based profile of the plant based on the location information of the user. For example, for an area with rich and refined distribution information, the distribution diagram of the plants based on the national map and the distribution diagram of the plants based on the world map can be presented; for regions with less sufficient distribution information, only a map of the plants based on the world map may be presented. It should be understood that the present disclosure is not limited thereto, and whether to present the country map-based distribution map of the plants and the world map-based distribution map of the plants may be determined according to other criteria, such as whether the region in which the user is located is an important/major region.

Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are detailed below in conjunction with fig. 2-6. In this exemplary embodiment, the user is currently located in the United states.

An interface 200 is shown in fig. 2, which interface 200 may be an interface of an APP performing the method 100 described previously. Specifically, the interface 200 may include a map partition 201 (the Distribution module shown in fig. 2), a legend partition 202, a summary partition 203, and an operational partition 204. It should be understood that an interface according to the present disclosure does not necessarily include all four partitions, but may include one or more of the partitions as desired. Map section 201 may present a map-based profile (e.g., country map, world map, etc.), legend section 202 may present a description of the legend of the profile, summary section 203 may present field information about the summary of the plant, and actionable section 204 may present information in response to a user operating in that section.

As shown in fig. 2, presented in the map partition 201 is a distribution map of Ivy (English Ivy) in england identified from imagery based on a map of the united states in which the user is located.

In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the rendering of the distribution map may include painting the respective sub-areas of the map with colors corresponding to the attribute information in a predetermined order of the attribute information. The map based on the united states map in map partition 201 in fig. 2 may be rendered in the following order:

the first step is as follows: based on information indicating an invasive species in attribute information associated with states of the united states of the identified species, coloring a sub-region on a map of the united states corresponding to the state in which the species is the invasive species as a color corresponding to the invasive species, e.g., red;

the second step is that: based on the information in the attribute information associated with the states of the united states of the species indicating the local protist, for the not yet rendered sub-regions, coloring the sub-region on the united states map corresponding to the state in which the species is the local protist as a color corresponding to the local protist, e.g., green;

the third step: for a sub-area that has not yet been rendered, coloring on a map of the united states the sub-area corresponding to the state of the species in which the species is a toxic species as a color corresponding to the toxic species, e.g., light pink, according to information in the attribute information of the species associated with the states of the united states that indicates the toxic species;

the fourth step: according to the type information of the species and the cold tolerance information (such as a cold tolerance map, i.e., hardine zone) of the species in each geographic area (such as country, province/state), the following processing is performed on the sub-area which is not yet rendered:

if it is determined that the species is a wild plant based on the type information, the sub-area on the U.S. map that has not been rendered continues to be blank,

if it is determined that the species is a landscape plant based on the type information, it is determined whether a state corresponding to a sub-area that has not been rendered is a growable area according to the cold tolerance information, and the sub-area corresponding to the state determined as the growable area is colored on the U.S. map in a color corresponding to the cultivated species, for example, light green,

if it is determined that the species is a houseplant based on the type information, the sub-areas on the U.S. map that have not been rendered are all painted with a color corresponding to the cultivated species, for example, light green.

In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the type information of the species may indicate whether the species is a wild plant, a landscape plant or a houseplant, and the type information may be recorded in a database, a data table or a data file as described above.

It should be understood that this is merely an exemplary description, and the order of rendering is not limited thereto, but may be changed as needed.

It should be understood that the method according to the present disclosure is not limited to the steps described above, but may include fewer or more steps. For example, the method may further comprise: according to the information indicating the potentially invasive species in the attribute information associated with the states of the united states of the species, for the sub-regions that have not yet been rendered, the sub-regions corresponding to the states in which the species is the potentially invasive species are colored on the united states map as colors corresponding to the potentially invasive species, for example, pink.

The map section 201 in fig. 2 shows a distribution map based on a map of the united states, but it should be understood that the distribution map presented in the map section 201 is not limited thereto, but may further include a distribution map based on a map of the world. In some embodiments, the U.S. map-based profile and the world map-based profile may be presented simultaneously in the map section 201 of the interface 200. In some embodiments, the U.S. map-based profile and the world map-based profile may not be presented simultaneously in the map section 201 of the interface 200, and the user may operate in the map section 201 of the interface 200 to switch between the U.S. map-based profile and the world map-based profile. In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the operation by the user may include a single click, a double click, a touch, a slide, and the like. Map section 201 may switch from presenting a U.S. map-based profile (such as a slide left-right switch) to presenting a world map-based profile, and vice versa, in response to a user's operation.

In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the rendering of the map based on the world map may include: rendering a sub-area corresponding to the province/state of the country where the user is located in the world map in units of the province/state as the sub-area, and rendering a sub-area corresponding to the other country in the world map in units of the country as the sub-area.

For the embodiment shown in fig. 2, first, sub-regions in the world map corresponding to states in the united states may be rendered at a state-accurate level in a manner similar to that described above.

Next, distribution information of the species in various countries around the world can be obtained from a database, a data table, or a data file. In embodiments of the present disclosure, where the distribution information is distribution information of species in a geographic sub-area (such as a province/state, or smaller region) of each country, the distribution information may be processed to obtain country-level distribution information. As a non-limiting example, for france, when the distribution information is of a species in provinces of france, processing may be performed to obtain the distribution information of the species in france. For example, when the distribution information indicates that the number of provinces of the species that are invasive species in all provinces of france exceeds a threshold, the distribution information of the species in france is processed to indicate that the species belongs to the invasive species in france. For example, even if the distribution information does not include information associated with all provinces of france, when the distribution information indicates that the species is an invasive species in at least one province of france, the distribution information of the species in france is processed to indicate that the species belongs to the invasive species in france.

Then, a sub-area on the world map corresponding to a country other than the united states, which is not yet rendered, may be painted based on the distribution information of the country level. Specifically, rendering may be included in the following order:

the first step is as follows: coloring a sub-region corresponding to a country in which the species is the invasive species on a world map as a color corresponding to the invasive species, for example, red, according to information indicating the invasive species among attribute information associated with countries of the identified species;

the second step is that: according to the information indicating the local primitive species in the attribute information of the species associated with the countries, for the sub-area that has not been rendered, coloring the sub-area corresponding to the country in which the species is the local primitive species as a color corresponding to the local primitive species, for example, green, on the world map;

the third step: for a sub-area that has not yet been rendered, coloring the sub-area corresponding to the country in which the species is a toxic species as a color corresponding to the toxic species, for example, light pink, on a world map according to information indicating the toxic species in attribute information associated with countries of the species;

the fourth step: according to the type information of the species and the cold tolerance information (such as a cold tolerance map) of the species in each geographic region (such as a country), the following processing is performed on the sub-regions which are not rendered yet:

if the species is determined to be a wild plant based on the type information, the sub-area on the world map that has not been rendered is left blank,

if it is determined that the species is a landscape plant based on the type information, it is determined whether a country corresponding to a sub-area that has not been rendered is a growable area according to the cold-resistance information, and the sub-area corresponding to the country determined as the growable area is colored on a world map in a color corresponding to a cultivated species, for example, light green,

if it is determined that the species is a houseplant based on the type information, the sub-areas on the world map that have not been rendered are all painted with a color corresponding to the cultivated species, for example, light green.

In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the first to third steps may further include: judging whether the species is an outdoor plant; judging whether the geographical area corresponding to the sub-area is a region capable of growing according to the cold resistance information under the condition that the species is an outdoor plant; if the geographic region is not a growable area, the sub-region on the world map is not rendered.

Similarly, it should be understood that this is merely an exemplary description, and the order of rendering is not limited thereto, but may be changed as needed.

Similarly, it should be understood that the method according to the present disclosure is not limited to the steps described above, but may include fewer or more steps. For example, the method may further comprise: according to the information indicating the potentially invasive species in the attribute information of the species associated with the countries, for the sub-area that has not been rendered, the sub-area corresponding to the country in which the species is the potentially invasive species is painted on the world map in a color corresponding to the potentially invasive species, for example, pink.

As shown in fig. 2, in embodiments of the present disclosure, interface 200 may also include a zoom-in icon 205, which may zoom in on the profile of the species presented in map section 201 in response to user manipulation of zoom-in icon 205.

Referring to fig. 3 and 4, fig. 3 shows an interface 300, the interface 300 including a map section 301 and a legend section 302, wherein the map section 301 shows a us map-based distribution of species. Fig. 4 shows an interface 400, the interface 400 including a map section 401 and a legend section 402, wherein the map section 401 shows a world map-based profile of the species. In some example embodiments,

interfaces

300 and 400 may be part of interface 200. In some embodiments, the

interfaces

300 and 400 may be pop-up windows or floating cards or the like that pop up in response to user manipulation. In some embodiments,

map sections

301 and 401 may present a magnified profile compared to the profile presented by map section 201.

Referring again to fig. 2, the legend section 202 may indicate the correspondence of various colors in the distribution chart shown in the map section 201 with the attribute information. The legend section 202 in FIG. 2 may illustrate: green indicates the native protospecies; red indicates invasive species; a light pink color indicates a toxic species; greenish color indicates cultivated species; pink indicates a potentially invasive species; the whites (i.e., not rendered) indicate the unreported species, i.e., there is no data associated with that species based on existing reports.

In embodiments of the present disclosure, the legend partition 202 may be an operational area. In response to a user's manipulation in the legend section 202, an interface detailing the colors and corresponding attribute information may be presented. Referring to fig. 5, fig. 5 is a schematic diagram schematically illustrating at least a portion of an interface according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. An interface 500 detailing colors and corresponding attribute information is shown in fig. 5. In some embodiments, the interface 500 may be a pop-up window or a floating card or the like that pops up in response to a user's manipulation. The interface 500 includes a description section 501 and a close icon 502, wherein the description section 501 may explain the meaning of each attribute in detail with words or the like, and the close icon 502 may be configured to close the interface 500 in response to an operation of the close icon 502 by a user.

With continued reference to FIG. 2, summary partition 203 may present field information associated with the vegetation. The field information shown in summary partition 203 may be field information based on the identified species. By way of non-limiting example, in the embodiment shown in fig. 2, where the identified species is ivy, and the plant belongs to an invasive species in the state where the user is located, then intrusion summary information may be shown in summary partition 203, which may include a summary description associated with the invasiveness of ivy.

Other field information may also be presented in the interface in the present disclosure. Fig. 6 is a flow diagram schematically illustrating at least a portion of a method 600 for presenting a distribution of plants, in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure.

As shown in fig. 6, at S601, it may be determined whether the identified species is an invasive species. If the species is not an invasive species, at S602, it may be determined whether distribution profile information exists, wherein the distribution profile information may include a profile description associated with the distribution of the species. If there is no distributed summary information, at S603, the field information may not be presented in the summary partition 203; otherwise, if there is distribution summary information, at S604, the distribution summary information may be presented in the summary partition 203.

If it is determined at S601 that the identified species is an invasive species, at S605 it may be determined whether intrusion summary information exists. If no intrusion summary information exists, at S606, field information may not be presented in the summary partition 203; otherwise, if intrusion summary information exists, at S607, the intrusion summary information may be presented in the summary partition 203.

Next, at S608, it may be judged whether or not at least one of the weed article information and the invasion article information exists. In embodiments of the present disclosure, the weed article information and the intrusion article information may be field information including articles associated with weeds, intrusions, which may be pre-recorded in a database, data table, or data file, or may be obtained from other sources (such as a network) as needed (such as according to article popularity or randomly). If at least one of weed article information and intrusion article information is present, at S610, a "more" icon may be presented in the actionable partition 204. At S611, it may be determined whether the user clicked on the "more" icon. If the user clicks the "more" icon, at S612, existing weed article information and intrusion article information may be presented. In an embodiment of the present disclosure, at S611, it may be determined whether the user operates (such as clicking, double clicking, touching) on the "more" icon in the actionable partition 204 or operates (such as clicking, double clicking, touching, stretch-zoom-in, sliding, etc.) on the summary partition 203. In embodiments of the present disclosure, the weed article information and the intrusion article information presented in response to the operation may be in the form of pop-up windows or floating cards, or the like.

If it is determined at S608 that neither weed article information nor the intrusion article information is present, at S609, the "more" icon may not be presented in the actionable partition 204.

The above-described field information such as the intrusion summary information, the distribution summary information, the weed article information, the intrusion article information, and the like may be field information recorded in advance in a database, a data table, or a data file, or may be field information acquired from other sources (such as a network) if necessary. When determining whether such field information is present in the flow of method 600, it may be determined whether such field information may be retrieved from a previous record in a database, data table, or data file or may be obtained from another source, such as a network. If the field information can be retrieved or acquired, determining that the field information exists; otherwise, it is determined that these pieces of field information do not exist.

In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the intrusion article information may include the following fields:

whether the species belongs to an invasive species;

the threat of the species to the environment;

how to identify the species;

how to control the species.

It should be understood that the above listed field contents, order, etc. are merely examples, and the intrusion article information may include more or fewer fields.

In embodiments of the present disclosure, the weed article information may include the following fields:

whether the species belongs to a weed;

the threat of the species to the environment;

how to identify the species;

how to control the species.

Similarly, it should be understood that the above listed field contents and order, etc. are merely examples, and the weed article information may include more or fewer fields.

Example embodiments of a user located in the united states and presenting a us map-based profile and a world map-based profile of a plant are detailed above. It should be noted that the present disclosure is not limited thereto, but any country, region may be set in advance as needed and rendering with higher accuracy may be performed only for the country, region in the distribution map based on each map.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, in the case where it is determined that the user is located in the specific country set in advance as described above from the location information from the user, it may be determined that the country map-based distribution map and the world map-based distribution map of the identified species need to be presented in the map section. In this case, if the country map-based distribution map is not rendered, the world map-based distribution map and the country map-based distribution map of the species are not presented in the map section even if the world map-based distribution map is rendered; if the country map based profile is rendered while the sub-area associated with the particular country in the world map based profile is not rendered, the world map based profile is not presented in the map partition but only the country map based profile is presented.

In an embodiment of the present disclosure, in a case where it is determined that the user is not located in a specific country set in advance from the location information from the user, it may be determined that only the map section of the world-based map of the identified species needs to be presented. In this case, it is possible to render only the sub-areas corresponding to the respective countries in the world map at a country-accurate level, without rendering the sub-areas corresponding to the country in which the user is located in the world map at a province/state-accurate level. In some embodiments, it may be determined whether the user is located in an important country (such as japan, european country, australian country) based on location information from the user. In the case where it is determined that the user is located in an important country, it may be determined whether the identified species have a distribution in the country, or whether a sub-area corresponding to the country is rendered in a distribution map based on a world map of the identified species. If the identified species is not distributed in the country, or a sub-region of the profile corresponding to the country is not rendered, then the world map based profile is not presented in the interface, i.e., the interface does not present the profile. In the case where it is determined that the user is not located in an important country, the world map-based profile of the species is presented in the map section regardless of whether the identified species has a distribution in the country in which the user is located, i.e., regardless of whether a sub-region corresponding to the country is rendered in the world map-based profile. However, if the world map based profile is not rendered at all, the world map based profile of the species is not present in the map partition.
