Our project intends to solve a problem in the field of plant edibility using image classification. The application of this project is to provide the classification component of a system that can determine if a plant is edible using an image of the plant. We reason that edible (and inedible) plants do not have enough common features to allow for a binary classifier, so we instead intend to classify each plant individually by species, and use a look-up table to determine edibility. It is important to note that we are classifying plants and then determining their edibility based on existing knowledge, not attempting to determine if a new class of plant is edible.
