Plants: what the camera looks for

What the camera looks for

When your plants spot-check fires, the in-app prompt reads "Show us the plants". The vision model then judges whether your three-photo burst shows the activity. In general it looks for:

• One or more living plants clearly in frame.
• You in the shot, or your hands interacting with them, for example holding a watering can or touching leaves or soil.
• Enough light to tell plant from background.

Tips for a clean check

• Stand close enough that the plants fill a good part of the frame.
• Include the watering can, mister or your hands. Context helps the check.
• In dim rooms, turn a light on before the burst. A dark silhouette is hard to read.
• Keep the plants steady; the three frames are a fraction of a second apart.

If a check fails

A plant sitting alone on a shelf with nobody tending it is the sort of frame that can read as not doing the activity. If you get a no, use the re-capture and show your hands at work. Streako always offers one re-capture before a check fails, and verification is tuned to give you the benefit of the doubt.
