  • Abstract:
  • Fields including agriculture, botany, biodiversity monitoring, and environmental education all depend on accurate plant species identification. Traditional approaches are trustworthy, but they are frequently laborious, need specialized knowledge, and are not available to the general public. Recent developments in mobile computing and artificial intelligence have produced intelligent plant identification systems that can identify species from visual inputs. Nevertheless, a lot of these apps rely significantly on internet access, which restricts their use in distant or field-based environments. With an emphasis on deep learning methods and the incorporation of offline capabilities, this review offers a thorough examination of mobile-based plant recognition systems. Examining several convolutional neural network (CNN) designs, image preprocessing techniques, and datasets utilized in the field, the research assesses each one's performance, effectiveness, and suitability for deployment on devices with limited resources. It also draws attention to the difficulties of offline inference, including limited local data storage, real-time computation, and model compression. The study addresses present limits and new trends, such as federated learning, on-device model training, and integration with augmented reality, by carefully comparing existing applications and approaches. The results highlight the increasing possibility of scalable, intelligent, and intuitive plant identification systems that function without internet connectivity, opening the door for greater accessibility and influence across fields.
