How to Capture the Perfect Photo
Plantos uses advanced AI to deliver precise plant identifications, but the quality of the results depends on the quality of your photos. Follow this step-by-step guide to ensure you get the best results every time you use the app.
Step 1: Clean Your Camera Lens
• Wipe your camera lens to remove smudges or dirt that could blur your photo.
• A clean lens ensures clear, sharp images for more accurate analysis.
Step 2: Choose the Right Lighting
Lighting is crucial for capturing the details of a plant.
• Natural Light: Take photos during the day in bright but indirect sunlight. Overcast conditions work particularly well.
• Avoid Direct Sunlight: Harsh light can create glare and obscure details.
• Indoor Photos: Use a well-lit area and avoid shadows or dim lighting.
Step 3: Focus on the Plant
• Center the plant in the frame, ensuring it occupies most of the image.
• For smaller plants or intricate features, use your phone’s zoom to get closer while maintaining focus.
• Avoid capturing other objects in the frame, like your hand, tools, or other plants.
Step 4: Keep the Background Simple
• Place the plant against a neutral, uncluttered background to make it stand out.
• White or black surfaces work well for potted plants, while grass or soil provides a natural contrast for outdoor plants.
• Avoid busy backgrounds with patterns or multiple objects.
Step 5: Capture Key Features
Take photos that highlight the plant’s identifying characteristics, such as:
• Leaves: Ensure the veins, shape, and edges are visible.
• Flowers: Focus on petals, color patterns, and structure.
• Bark or Stem: If identifying a tree or woody plant, include a clear view of the bark or stem.
• Fruits or Seeds: When applicable, include these features for a more complete identification.
Step 6: Hold Steady
• Use both hands or a tripod to keep your phone steady and avoid blurring.
• Tap the screen to focus on the plant before capturing the image.
Step 7: Take Multiple Photos
• Capture different angles and features, such as the entire plant, close-ups of leaves, flowers, and stems.
• Upload multiple images to Plantos for a more accurate identification.
Step 8: Upload to Plantos
1. Open the Plantos app.
2. Select or upload your photo(s).
3. Let Plantos analyze your image and provide detailed insights into the plant.
Troubleshooting Tips
• Blurred Images: Retake the photo using a steady hand or tripod.
• Low Light: Move to a brighter area or use additional lighting.
• Obscured Features: Remove any dirt or debris from the plant and ensure all parts are clearly visible.
• Crowded Background: Reposition the plant against a simpler backdrop.
By following these steps, you’ll ensure Plantos can identify your plants with maximum accuracy. With practice, capturing perfect plant photos will become second nature!
