Cornell Labs Merlin Sound ID, iNaturalists 200M observations, BirdNETs open-source acoustic ML, Pl@ntNet/PictureThis/MoYaMo for plant ID, Picture Insect/Picture Mushroom, AllTrails AI Trail, Koreas MoYaMo and Kiwi Live, Japans YAMAP/YAMARECO — this single piece walks through all of it, plus the CNN+transformer architectures, audio spectrograms, geographic priors, and open biodiversity data such as GBIF that power them.

Cornell Lab의 Merlin Sound ID, iNaturalist 2억 관측치, BirdNET 오픈소스 음향 ML, Pl@ntNet/PictureThis/모야모 같은 식물 식별, Picture Insect/Picture Mushroom, AllTrails AI Trail, 한국 모야모와 키위라이브, 일본 YAMAP/ヤマレコ까지 한 글에서 끝까지 본다. 그 뒤를 받치는 CNN+트랜스포머, 음향 스펙트로그램, 지리적 prior, GBIF 같은 오픈 생물다양성 데이터까지 깊이 정리한다.

PlantNet is the academic project from Frances INRIA; PictureThis is Glority’s paid commercial leader. Koreas Moyamo and Japans Biome specialize in local flora and fauna. And mushroom apps — are dangerous. Across 18 chapters we dissect plant, bird, insect, mushroom, and astronomy apps by technology, accuracy, ethics, and citizen-science value.

PlantNet은 프랑스 INRIA의 학술 프로젝트이고, PictureThis는 Glority의 유료 상용 리더다. 한국의 모야모와 일본의 Biome는 로컬 식물상·동물상에 특화됐다. 그리고 버섯 앱은 — 위험하다. 18장에 걸쳐 식물·새·곤충·버섯·천체 앱의 기술·정확도·윤리·시민과학적 의미를 한 장씩 분해한다.
