"THE traditional way to identify an unfamiliar tree is to pull out a field guide and search its pages for a matching description. One day people may pull out a smartphone instead, photographing a leaf from the mystery tree and then having the phone search for matching images in a database."
"Software to identify leaves by searching a field guide on a PC or a phone could be useful not only to hikers but also to scientists compiling data."
