Abstract: Ayurveda uses herbal plants for the preparation of medicines. This particular science which is now only known to experts. In earlier times the knowledge was much more common. This project is to facilitate common user to learn about and identify herbs using mobile devices in android platform, implementing image processing techniques. This shall also help experts in the ayurvedic field for collaborative learning and research. As the information is becoming more and more accessible to people, trend has been to give people more and more tools and facilities to learn more about the surroundings. Today mobile applications like leaf snap, platifier etc. exist to give users capability to learn about a tree or a plant. The technology is missing for plants of Indian origin, in particular medicinal herbs used in Ayurveda. We envision developing algorithms built on image processing techniques to quickly identify the plant based on the image provided. It has great use for spreading awareness, educating, research, resource collection and bringing people together for further development in the field of Ayurveda.
