Flowerbucket aplicación móvil android para el reconocimiento de las 100 especies más abundantes del arbolado urbano de Bogotá

Abstract

Flowerbucket is a mobile application created for professionals and students of forestry engineering and related areas interested in recognizing plant species through vegetative and reproductive characters. This application has the benefits of having taxonomic and dendrological filters that allow an approach to the possible species that you want to recognize in the countryside. With the support of the UDBC forest herbarium, it is guaranteed that the information displayed in this app is true, thus ceasing to be a playful and/or educational tool like those found in the Google play store. Thus, becoming a scientific tool with the support of scientific professionals who in turn support all the processes carried out by the herbarium of the District University. FLOWERBUCKET is designed as a tool in research-innovation mode, so only the scientific team of the herbarium of the Francisco José de Caldas District University has the possibility of modifying the content of the application and this is the differential point between FLOWERBUCKET and the others tools found in the application stores since these others allow the application users to modify their content. For the purposes of this project, the application will initially have the 100 most abundant species of urban trees in Bogota according to the census carried out by the José Celestino Mutis Botanical Garden. Regarding its design and development, the Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) was carried out in the Bizagi application in its free version. The development of the Frontend was in the XAML and C# .Net standard 2.0 user interface format language (Long-term maintenance), its Backend was developed in Xamarin Forms and .Net standard 2.0 For the connection of the application to the herbarium servers An API made available by the herbarium was used to carry out the consultation process. For the process of updating and inserting the information, a console application was made in .Net Core 3.1 (Long-term maintenance) which performs the insert and update operations from an excel with a standardized format. For all cases, the development was carried out in Visual Studio in its Community version.
