Abstract – Huge number of Biodiversity
things are available on the earth. Some of
things are known to us but some are very
rare or creepy that we don’t know about
them. So, to get detail about all the
biodiversity things we need to take help
from technology. Artificial Intelligence
makes this task very easy. With the help of
image recognition and speech recognition
we make easy to getting the details about
biodiversity species or things.

I. INTRODUCTION
The user interface is key to our experiences
with our tech gadgets. However most of
these gadgets rely on some kind of physical
interaction in order to work. This will
change in 2018, with a focus on the “touch
less” interface. [1]
Imagine picking up your empty juice bottle
and saying “Siri, order this.” Amazon
Alexa, Siri, and other virtual assistants have
already begun to train us to no longer rely
on our thumbs and fingers. But as we noted
in our discussion of the future beyond a
Smartphone there are other ways to interact
that could be useful.
Imagine picking up your empty bottle of
juice and saying “Siri, order this” and it
being ordered for you without you since
Siri understands what you’re looking at or
holding. Other features, like customized
responses based on who is asking, are
already available and will only become
more prevalent throughout the year.

Combined with other tech trends that will
play a large part in what we’re talking about
in 2018, the touch less interface will move
us far beyond the tap and swipe.
II. PROBLEM STATEMENT
It is a well known fact that there are many
species of biodiversity in the world. So it is
very difficult to know about all the names
and details about these species and specially
the species which do not belong to your
country or new,we can analyze them and
can gather information about them through
this.So we need to use artificial intelligence
for know every details about species.
III. BASIC IDEA-SCAN
ANYTHING AND LET YOUR
PHONE DO THE REST
Many people rely on their smart phones to
search for things online. At the movies,
users might try to identify an actor from a
film trailer. At a concert, they might hear a
song and check which album it was on.
When shopping, they might try to find the
best deal on a product by searching nearby
stores. Apps that identify songs, images,
and video, or that read barcodes, make it
easier to do this. New discovery: With a
new app from Dig marc, someone could
scan photos from a newspaper or other
media to pull up more information—
provided those images are in the company’s
database.
A single app designed to identify input
from a person’s environment and pull up
related information.

Similar to like Barcode Scanner Discover
uses a smart phone’s camera and
microphone to “capture” a sample of audio
or an image, then identifies it through
Digimarc’s own database and searches for
related material online.
Figure – 1
Unlike these apps, though, Discover
combines a variety of media search
functions into a single app that will allow
users to scan images, audio, video, and even
barcodes or QR codes (two-dimensional
versions of barcodes)—all without
switching between apps. Discover is
available for free on both iOS and Android
phones.
However, Discover’s usefulness is limited
by the number of companies that utilize the
system. As of yet, this system is only
implemented by a small number of
publications.
Discover requires “digital watermarks” to
identify images and video. These work
much like the watermarking used on
currency or official documents, by inserting
a transparent image on top of another
image. The difference is that digital
watermarking is specifically designed to be
recorded and decoded by software.
Digimarc offers an online service that
advertisers and companies can use to
purchase and place watermarks in their ads
and images. Then, when a user scans one of
those images with a watermark, the
Discover app searches through Digimarc’s
database. Once the app has identified an
item through the database, it searches

online and brings up related information on
the user’s phone. While Discover’s image
and video search functions only work with
the company’s own digital watermarking
system.
IV. USE OF TECHNOLOGY
For making Touch less Scanning, we need
to use any AI assistant like siri, Google
assistant or Amazon Alexa that help us to
taking commands from user. When assistant
took command from user it open our
scanning application which build with the
help of deep learning model. First we need
know about AI assistant:
AI assistant: To call any technology that
makes our lives easier by one name is
almost impossible. There are a variety of
terms that refer to agents that can perform
tasks or services for an individual, and they
are almost interchangeable — but not quite.
They differ mainly based on how we
interact with the technology, the app, or a
combination of both. This is software that
can assist people with basic tasks, usually
using natural language. Intelligent personal
assistants can go online and search for an
answer to a user’s question. Either text or
voice can trigger an action. The key here is
voice. A voice assistant is a digital assistant
that uses voice recognition, speech
synthesis, and natural language processing
(NLP) to provide a service through a
particular application.For the purpose of
this discussion, the term voice assistant will
be used interchangeably with the following
related terms: intelligent personal assistant,
automated personal assistant, smart
assistant, and virtual digital assistant.[4]
Now we need to know about Convolutional
Neural Networks (cnn) which is a deep
learning model used for image
classification.
V. Convolution Neural Networks
(CNN):
Convolution neural networks are deep
artificial neural networks that are used
primarily to classify images (e.g. name
what they see), cluster them by similarity

(photo search), and perform object
recognition within scenes. They are
algorithms that can identify faces,
individuals, street signs, tumours,
platypuses and many other aspects of visual
data.[5]
Let us consider the use of CNN for image
classification in more detail. The main task
of image classification is acceptance of the
input image and the following definition of
its class. This is a skill that people learn
from their birth and are able to easily
determine that the image in the picture is an
elephant. But the computer sees the pictures
quite differently:
Figure - 2
Instead of the image, the computer sees an
array of pixels. For example, if image size
is 300 x 300. In this case, the size of the
array will be 300x300x3. Where 300 is
width, next 300 is height and 3 is RGB
channel values. The computer is assigned a
value from 0 to 255 to each of these
numbers. Тhis values describes the intensity
of the pixel at each point.
To solve this problem the computer looks
for the characteristics of the base level. In
human understanding such characteristics
are for example the trunk or large ears. For
the computer, these characteristics are
boundaries or curvatures. And then through
the groups of convolution layers the
computer constructs more abstract
concepts. In more detail: the image is
passed through a series of convolution,
nonlinear, pooling layers and fully
connected layers, and then generates the
output.
Volume VIII, Issue V, MAY/2019
ISSN NO : 2277-2723
The Convolution layer is always the first.
Тhe image (matrix with pixel values) is
entered into it. Imagine that the reading of
the input matrix begins at the top left of
image. Next the software selects a smaller
matrix there, which is called a filter (or
neuron, or core). Then the filter produces
convolution, i.e. moves along the input
image. The filter’s task is to multiply its
values by the original pixel values. All
these multiplications are summed up. One
number is obtained in the end. Since the
filter has read the image only in the upper
left corner, it moves further and further
right by 1 unit performing a similar
operation. After passing the filter across all
positions, a matrix is obtained, but smaller
then a input matrix.
This operation, from a human perspective,
is analogous to identifying boundaries and
simple colours on the image. But in order to
recognize the properties of a higher level
such as the trunk or large ears the whole
network is needed. The network will consist
of several convolution networks mixed with
nonlinear and pooling layers. When the
image passes through one convolution
layer, the output of the first layer becomes
the input for the second layer. And this
happens with every further convolution
layer.
The nonlinear layer is added after each
convolution operation. It has an activation
function, which brings nonlinear property.
Without this property a network would not
be sufficiently intense and will not be able
to model the response variable (as a class
label).
The pooling layer follows the nonlinear
layer. It works with width and height of the
image and performs a down sampling
operation on them. As a result the image
volume is reduced. This means that if some
features (as for example boundaries) have
already been identified in the previous
convolution operation, than a detailed
image is no longer needed for further
processing, and it is compressed to less
detailed pictures.

Figure - 3
After completion of series of convolution,
nonlinear and pooling layers, it is necessary
to attach a fully connected layer. This layer
takes the output information from
convolution networks. Attaching a fully
connected layer to the end of the network
results in an N dimensional vector, where N
is the amount of classes from which the
model selects the desired class. A fragment
of the code of this model written in Python
will be considered further in the practical
part.[6]

We take an example from Biodiversity
where there are some flowers, plants, birds
we rarely see. We have never seen them and
they do not belong to our country. We want
to get information about them so in that case
this technique can be used.
We use our device as scanning a
Biodiversity thing, suppose we pick up a
fruit and asking from smart phone while
holding the fruit "What is this"?
After scanning the smart phone searching
this thing from the data base and detecting
from data base. After detecting we get detail
information about that thing.
VI. BENEFITS
Touch less scanning feature is beneficial for
those who wants to learn and know about
things related to biodiversity.
VII. LITERATURE VIEW
In this Paper topic of touch less scanning is
discussed. This paper gives views about
how can we make it possible and also it
gives several examples of it.
All these topics are highlighted in this
Paper. We reviewed the literature of
difficulty in recognising the things such as
Siberian birds, animals which are new to us
but by applying this technique we can get
information about the same.
VII. CONCLUSION
There are plenty of things we have
discussed in this paper. So using he methods

mentioned above, we can really make it and

in upcoming years it would become so
common and as we know now-a-days
people want everything to happen so easy so
touch less scanning might become so
popular. Whenever anyone would find
anything unseen or new, they just have to
scan it and all the details will appear.
Convolution Neural Networks (CNN) which
is a deep learning model used for image
classification and for more detail: The
images is passed through a series of
convolution, nonlinear, pooling layers and
fully connected layers, and then generates
the output and make it happen.
