Deep learning-enabled mobile application for efficient and robust herb image recognition

Abstract

With the increasing popularity of herbal medicine, high standards of the high quality control of herbs becomes a necessity, with the herb recognition as one of the great challenges. Due to the complicated processing procedure of the herbs, methods of manual recognition that require chemical materials and expert knowledge, such as fingerprint and experience, have been used. Automatic methods can partially alleviate the problem by deep learning based herb image recognition, but most studies require powerful and expensive computation hardware, which is not friendly to resource-limited settings. In this paper, we introduce a deep learning-enabled mobile application which can run entirely on common low-cost smartphones for efficient and robust herb image recognition with a quite competitive recognition accuracy in resource-limited situations. We hope this application can make contributions to the increasing accessibility of herbal medicine worldwide.

Application of Deep Learning Algorithm in Web Page Advertising Design Style

“…Zou and Wang [16] use deep learning algorithm to study the color matching problem in web advertising design, which has attracted a large number of customers to visit the website and achieved good results. Sun et al [17] plan the typesetting problem in web advertising design through combinatorial category algorithm, which gives people a refreshing feeling and promotes the increase of web page visits. Wang et al [18] design the logo image of web advertising through deep learning algorithm, which achieves the purpose of combining dynamic and static, captures people's attention, and can better transmit information.…”
