Pépin, means “seed” in French. I created this personal project out of my love for flowers, and in order to practice using ML models.
I wanted an app that could take a picture of flowers in my environment, and tell me what type of flower it is.
I often struggle with knowing how to care for different types of unique flowers I buy, and thus decided to create an application that provided this type of information as well.
I also wanted it to tell me more about the flower - fun facts about it, as well as easy body scrub recipes I could make using the flower (if applicable).
This is what Pépin does.
