AFFOUARD A, JOLY A, LOMBARDO J, CHAMP J, GOEAU H, CHOUET M, GRESSE H, BONNET P (2023). Pl@ntNet observations. Version 1.8. Pl@ntNet. Occurrence dataset https://doi.org/10.15468/gtebaa accessed via GBIF.org on 2024-08-12.

Description

Pl@ntNet is a participatory botanical observation platform allowing to identify plants from photos (using deep learning) and to share the observations with the community. The platform has three main front-ends: Pl@ntNet androïd (http://bit.ly/1K4D1eU), Pl@ntNet iOS (http://apple.co/2cMtWgu) and Pl@ntNet web (https://identify.plantnet.org/). Pl@ntNet was founded in 2010 by a consortium of four French research organisms (CIRAD, Inria, INRAE and IRD) and is now open to other members. More information about Pl@ntNet project can be found at https://plantnet.org/.
The observations in this collection are the ones for which the authors agree to share the associated pictures under a creative common licence and for which the species name is considered as valid.

Sampling Description

Study Extent

Entire world, Plantae.

Sampling

No sampling protocol, opportunistic observations by Pl@ntNet users.

Quality Control

The validation is based on three main criteria: - the identification confidence score greater than a given threshold, the score being inferred from (i) the output of the automated identification algorithm (categorical probability) and (ii) the species names proposed by the members - the contributor has a reputation score higher than a given threshold - the species name matches the checklist considered as the most trusted one for the country where the observation was done

Method steps

  1. This collection contains observations of plants shared by Pl@ntNet users using one the three Pl@ntNet applications (androïd, iOS, web, more information here: https://plantnet.org/). The following filters were applied: - image license cc-* - is geolocated - is valid (identification score > threshold) - from a user with an enabled account - with a known species name (valid or synonym) in Pl@ntNet - species name != Cannabis - date_observation > 0 - must be in one of the WGSRPD polygon level 3 and the binomial species name (without author) must match a species of the corresponding Kew checklist

Taxonomic Coverages

Pl@ntNet observations focus on plants.
  1. Plantae
    common name: Plant rank: kingdom

Geographic Coverages

Plant observations from Pl@ntNet network come from all around the world.
