Biolens is a web application for the automatic identification of biological species based on photos classified using deep learning models.
Currently available models can be used to identify Portuguese species of dragonflies and damselflies (Dragonlens), flora (Floralens), butterflies (Lepilens), and moths (Mothlens).
An experimental app for Android devices allows users to take photos and obtain species identification suggestions for all Biolens models. Download the APK file here. An earlier version of the Lepilens model is also used by the Lepilens iOS app.
Biolens has been developed by Luís Lopes and Eduardo R. B. Marques, both professors at DCC/FCUP and members of CRACS / INESC-TEC, jointly with students Tomás Mamede, Miguel Marques, Manuel Coutinho, António Filgueiras, and Hugo Silva. Tomás Mamede is also the developer of the Lepilens iOS app.
The Biolens models were trained using cloud services generously provided through the Google Cloud research credits program.
Training images taken were mostly sampled from:
