Increment Savings ...,Increment Nature

The problem PlantPay solves

-> Nurturing nature : Simply planting the sapling ๐ŸŒฑ is not enough, we will be monitoring the well being of the plant too ๐ŸŒณ. Rewards will be given on the basis of the type of plant and its nurturing.
-> Decentralised information ๐Ÿ”’: This helps in the accountability, improved traceability and transparency of the information. Further avoiding duplication of users for the sake of rewards.
-> Survey for statistical data๐Ÿ“ˆ: The information will not be distorted and the maintenance cost will be low.Data is provided to low-investment data science based start-ups and companies๐Ÿ“.
-> Identification of unknown plants ๐Ÿ”Ž: A machine learning model is included which identifies the family and species of different plants based on their leaves.

The working of the application ๐Ÿ“ฑ๐Ÿ“ deals with the informationwhich will be stored in Ethereum blockchain โ‚ฟ. The app design will be useful for monitoring and analysing the plant data. It will also act as the interface for the extraction of data๐Ÿ“Š.There are optional survey forms included in the app which requires the user to fill in some general information. The money generated from the surveys and will be further spent in the following ways, i.e.,

!)Maintenance of the application
!)Rewards for users planting a sapling and filling the form data. The app also includes a Machine learning based algorithm which classifies different plants based on their leaves so that users will not have the trouble to identify their plants and the family of the plant they want to grow.
!)We also tried to give the users a smooth UI experience ๐Ÿ’šโœจ๐Ÿ’š:

Challenges we ran into

  • Improving the accuracy for the machine learning model
  • Collecting the data for training the model
  • Turning ethereum into matic networks
  • Collecting data from the forms
