Using this data, I trained object detection machine learning models to identify sporophytes automatically. I contributed a blog post about this project to SIAM news, and I gave a contributed presentation about the topic at the SIAM MPE22 conference in the summer of 2022. I have also created a hugging face space to demonstrate the network we trained. https://liamjemison.com/projects/sporophyte-detection/
