AI-Powered Botanical Intelligence

A deployed mobile platform combining Machine Vision, Generative AI, and Augmented Reality to validate indigenous knowledge against scientific data in real-time.

System Architecture

Three Pillars of Innovation

Unlike static conservation, MHBT-AR actively decolonizes medicine by validating indigenous knowledge in real-time

🔍

Machine Vision

Real-time plant identification and validation against scientific data, building a "ground truth" database for medicinal flora that drives domestic pharmaceutical innovation.

  • Computer vision species recognition
  • Multi-angle leaf analysis
  • Flowering pattern detection
  • Bark and root morphology
🤖

Generative AI

Immersive, AI-generated narratives at heritage sites like Entebbe Botanical Gardens, transforming traditional knowledge into engaging educational experiences.

  • Multilingual storytelling
  • Traditional healer interviews synthesis
  • Historical usage documentation
  • Scientific validation overlay
👓

Augmented Reality

Interactive overlays bringing medicinal plant knowledge to life, allowing users to visualize properties, preparation methods, and cultural significance in real-time.

  • 3D plant model visualization
  • Preparation step-by-step guides
  • Historical context overlays
  • QR code garden integration
