Is that an european or an asian Ladybird ?


>


Let's use the artificial intelligence check if the ladybird is an european one



Why this project ?


The european ladybird is endangered by the asian ladybird who looks like the european one but who is dangerous for the balance of the environment.
Indeed, she was imported in the suitcases of travellers, and by farmers in order to protect their plantation because ladybirds and ladybird larvas eat aphids.
In recent years, however, the Asian species has adapted particularly well to the European environment and is proliferating rapidly.
It is considered an invasive species. It invades the ladybird's territory and thrives there to the detriment of the local species.

How works the code ?

ImageClassifier mI5.js

The images.mI5.imageClassifier module allows to create an object that classifies images using a pre-formed model using a neural network to recognize the content of images.
In order for the model to work, the neural network must be trained from a database to allow the algorithm to label the images.
We can train our own image classification model with Google's Teachable machine
