Abstract - “HerbVision”: To address the widespread need
for knowledge about Ayurvedic medicinal plants, for this HerbVision was developed. This app allows users to swiftly identify plants by uploading or capturing images. The machine learning model categorizes species and provides detailed information on the medicinal properties of each plant. The app seeks to bridge this gap between ancient knowledge and current technology systems by appreciating these deep traditions. By leveraging both YOLOv8 as well as the Flutter framework, users can effortlessly discover multitudes of Indian herbal plants and gain insights on their curative values through it. The research not only helps identify medicinal plants but also enables one to have a better understanding of the natural resources that contribute to holistic health care. This paper presents the full study consisting of introduction, review of literature, system architecture, detailed methodology, case scenarios in realworld, and concluding remarks. It comes from the fact that India has some of the richest traditional herbs used in Ayurvedic medicine over centuries. Key Words: Ayurvedic Medicine, Indian Medicinal Plants, Object Detection, YOLOv8, Flutter Mobile Application, Healthcare Technology.
1.INTRODUCTION Medicinal plants represent the cornerstone of traditional medicine systems globally, with India's ancient Ayurvedic tradition particularly renowned for its profound understanding and utilization of plant-based therapies. Despite the pivotal role of medicinal plants in healthcare, many species indigenous to India are underutilized and marginalized in modern medical practice, reflecting a significant gap between traditional wisdom and contemporary healthcare technology. HerbVision emerges as a pioneering solution to bridge this divide by harnessing state-of-the-art machine learning technologies, notably the YOLOv8 model and the Flutter mobile app development framework. This innovative integration empowers users to delve into India's rich botanical heritage, facilitating seamless plant identification
