Chapter # 1

Introduction

Flora Enroute


This chapter provides an overview of the report and the existing and proposed system. This

chapter describes why the proposed system is needed and what the objectives of this system are?

1.1 Problem Definition

While travelling, we see many appealing and beautiful plants planted alongside roads.

Usually we do not know their names and other characteristics like their gardening tips.

Gardening lovers when they see a beautiful plant they want to plant it in their gardens. Moreover,

some plant researchers when they want to research on a plant and they cannot find it in their labs

or gardens, then they want to find a location where they can find it.

Main goal of this project is to provide an informational platform to gardening lovers where they

can identify a plant by entering its various characteristics like (shape and color) so that they can

get their required plants’ information. Users can also find a plant by entering location of the plant

on google map. Plant researchers can get location of their required plant by searching through its

botanical name.

1.2 Existing Systems

Following are some websites that are used for plant identification and they also provide

gardening tips for plants.

1. Plant Identification (healthyhomegardening.com)

This website displays shapes of flowers and plants and user searches his/her required plant by

clicking upon one of these image links.

2. Plant Identifier (saximontana.lakeheadu.ca)

This website provides facility to enter stem, leaf and flower characteristics and get the desired

plant.

3. Wild flower identification tool ()

This website facilitates user to choose from options of leaf shape, flower shape and other

characteristics (size, color, bloom month) and get his/her required plant/flower.

4. Shoot ()

This website allows user to choose flower shape, color and type and then it displays the images

of the flowers along with their height and maturity duration.

5. NGA Plant Identifier ()

This website allows the user to choose from options given for plant type, flower color and season

of bloom and then it displays the flower name along with botanical name.

Flora Enroute


6. WTH Herbarium Image Collection (http://biology.burke.washington.edu/herbarium)

This website gives options of flower/plant habit or type of growing, leaf arrangement, flower

color and flowering period. User opts from the given choices and website displays flower

image, name and its botanical name.

1.3 Flaws in current systems

These systems provide the facility of identifying a plant by some of its characteristics

only. Moreover, shapes used for plant identification are not given in pictorial form. It is difficult

for users to recognize a shape (leaf, flower) by its name.

1.4 Proposed System

After studying all existing systems I noted that these systems have scattered information

and various characteristics that are used to identify or search a plant are not all in one system. So,

my proposed software overcomes the problems in the previous systems by providing searching

facility on any of the plants’ characteristics. Moreover, it information about different plants and

flowers planted on the roads of Islamabad and their locality and availability.

Main goal of the project is to provide flowers and plants information in an interesting way. This

will be of great interest for the plant lovers and gardeners who are used to growing plants of

different kinds in climatic conditions of Pakistan.

1.5 Scope

The system will be used to store the information of plants planted alongside main roads

of Islamabad as well as serves as a platform for users to get information about flowers they see

on various roads. It will facilitate user upload information and pictures of plants. They can also

view information of plants.

Flora Enroute


Function and Features

The system shall provide following functionalities.

Guest user Side

User can request for the plant information.

User can search for the specific plant by entering plant’s Common Name, Botanical

Name, Leaf shape, Flower shape, Leaf Arrangement, Plant Location.

Registered user Side

User can request for the flowers/plants information

User can search for the specific flower/plant by entering plant’s Common Name,

Botanical Name, Leaf shape, Flower shape, Leaf Arrangement, Plant Location.

User can upload plant information.

Administrator Side

Administrator will allow the user to request for plants’ information. User can search

for the specific flower/plant by entering plant’s common name or botanical name.

Administrator shall maintain the record of all plants planted on various roads of

Islamabad.

Administrator shall be able to get information of the plant from different horticultural

websites if that information or record is not present in the system.

Administrator will demonstrate location of these plants using Google map.

Administrator will provide the facility of a plant identifier for those users who do not

know the names of the plants.

The characteristics used for identifying a plant are:

Leaf shape

There are many shapes of plant leaves and are named on the basis of their

width and height e.g. the leaf shape of “Rose plant” is Ovate.

Flora Enroute


Leaf Arrangement

The positioning of leaves on plant’s stem is called its leaf arrangement e.g. the

leaf arrangement of “Rose plant” is Opposite.

Flower shape

The shapes of flowers are differentiated on the basis of petal size and number of

petals e.g. shape of “Rose plant” is Rosette.

Flower Color

Flower color also plays a part in identifying a plant e.g. “Rose“ has many colors

and by selecting any of the following colors(white, red, pink, yellow, orange) we

get our required plant name i.e. Rose

9th Avenue

7th Avenue

Parbat road

Kashmir Highway

Rawal road

Park road

College road

Islamabad Highway

Kashmir Highway

Flora Enroute


7th Avenue

Almost 100 different plants were planted along these roads. I collected the pictures of these

plants and then the common names and other information (planting season, flowering season,

gardening tips, insects on plant and pesticides used against them) were collected from

Horticulture department of CDA [1]. The botanical names of these plants were collected from

Plant sciences department of Quaid-i-Azam University Islamabad [2].

The characteristics of plants such as, flower shape, leaf shape, flower color, leaf arrangement

were collected during the field work by observing these plants.

Names of these shapes are collected from different horticulture websites and forums.

2.7. Domain Model

Object-oriented analysis is concerned with creating a description of the domain from the

perspective of classification by objects. A decomposition of the domain involves an

identification of the concepts, attributes, and associations that are considered noteworthy. The

result can be expressed in a domain model, which is illustrated in a set of diagrams that show

domain concepts or objects. [4]

Chapter # 3

System Design

Flora Enroute


The aim here is to produce a complete system model that shows the different components in a

system, their interfaces, and their connections The argument for this is that such a detailed

architectural description makes it easier to understand and evolve the system. [5]

3.1. System Architecture

System architecture is the conceptual model that defines the structure, behavior, and

more views of a system. An architecture description is a formal description and representation of

a system, organized in a way that supports reasoning about the structures of the system. [6]

For this project, I have followed “Three tier Architecture”.

3.1.1 Three Tier Architecture

Three-tier architecture is a client-server architecture in which the functional process

logic, data access, computer data storage and user interface are developed and maintained

as independent modules on separate platforms. Three-tier architecture is a software

architectural pattern and well-established software architecture. Its three tiers are the

presentation tier, application tier and data tier. [6]

A special type of client/server architecture consists of three well-defined and separate

processes, each running on a different platform:

1. The user interface, which runs on the user's computer (the client), also called as

Presentation Layer.

2. The functional modules that actually process data. This middle tier runs on a server

and is called as application server, also called as Business Layer.

3. A database management system (DBMS) that stores the data required by the middle

tier. This tier runs on a second server called the database server, Data Access Layer.

This architecture is explained in the fig 3.1

Fig 3.1 Three-tier architecture

Flora Enroute


3.2 Database Design

Database design is the process of producing a detailed data model of a database. A fully

attributed data model contains detailed attributes for each entity. [6]

3.2.1 Entity Relationship Diagram (ERD)

An ER model is an abstract way of describing a database. In the case of

a relational database, which stores data in tables, some of the data in these tables point to

data in other tables. [6]

Fig 3.2 Entity Relationship Diagram

Flora Enroute


3.2.2 Database Diagram/ Bachman Diagram

A Bachman diagram is a certain type of data structure diagram, and is used to

design the data with a network or relational "logical" model, separating the data

model from the way the data is stored in the system. The model is named after database

pioneer Charles Bachman, and mostly used in computer software design. [6]

Fig 3.3 Database Diagram

Flora Enroute


3.3. Interaction Design

Interaction design deals with the process of developing a method for two (or more)

modules in a system to connect and communicate. These modules can apply to hardware,

software or the interface between a user and a machine. [6]

3.3.1 User Interface

In computing, graphical user interface is a type of user interface that allows users to

interact with electronic devices through graphical icons and visual indicators such as secondary

notation, as opposed to text-based interfaces, typed command labels or text navigation. GUIs

were introduced in reaction to the perceived steep learning curve of command-line interfaces

(CLI), which require commands to be typed on the keyboard [6].

In this project I have tried to make an attractive interface for users. For this purpose, pictures of

different plants taken from different roads of Islamabad are used. Following design principles

have been used in this project.

Repetition

Visual elements like colorful header and background of body is repeated throughout

design.

Contrast

Visual excitement that can draw attention is used. Contrast between text &

background is used.

Alignment

Elements are justified to create visual unity. Columns are used instead of wide areas

of horizontal text.

Fonts

Common fonts like Helvetica and Times New Roman are used.

Flora Enroute


3.4. Sequence Diagram

Sequence diagrams in the UML are primarily used to model the interactions between the

actors and the objects in a system and the interactions between the objects them-selves. As the

name implies, a sequence diagram shows the sequence of interactions that take place during a

particular use case or use case instance. [5]

Login

In fig 3.4, UserId and Password are entered by user at interface which is then passed to the User

class for login request. It is then passed to DBHANDLER for validation from database. If

validation is true then user is logged in.

Fig 3.4 Login

Flora Enroute


Upload Plant Information

In fig 3.5, Plant information is entered by user at interface which is then passed to the Plant class

for saving process. It is then passed to DbHandler to save data into database. If data is already

not in the system then Plant record is saved.

Fig 3.5 Upload Plant Information

Flora Enroute


Search a Plant

In fig 3.6, Plant information is entered by user at interface which is then passed to the Plant class

for search process. It is then passed to DbHandler to search data into database. If data is found in

the system then plant details are displayed.

Fig 3.6 Search a Plant

Flora Enroute


Identify a Plant

In fig 3.7, Plant characteristics are selected by user at interface which are passed to the Plant

class that searches plant in database using DbHandler. If plant is found in database then plant

data is sent to plant class that displayed at interface otherwise plant class fetches it from a

horticulture website and displays result to the user.

Fig 3.7 Identify a Plant

Flora Enroute


3.5 Class Diagram

Class diagrams are used when developing an object-oriented system model to show the

classes in a system and the associations between these classes. Loosely, an object class can be

thought of as a general definition of one kind of system object. An association is a link between

classes that indicates that there is a relationship between these classes. Consequently, each class

may have to have some knowledge of its associated class [5].

Fig 3.8 Class Diagram

Flora Enroute


3.5.1 Description of Classes

1. User

Attributes of user are username and password. Information of admin and registered users

is saved in database and can be used to login.

2. Plant

Plant has data members PlantID, CommonName, BotanicalName, and GardeningTips. It

gets the details of plant entered by admin or a registered user and passes to Data storage.

It also gets details of plants from database and passes it to the interface. It has objects of

User, Flower, Location, Season, Shape, Insect and Pesticide classes.

3. Flower

Flower has data member FlowerID. Class gets data entered by user and passes it to data

storage. . It has objects of Season, Shape and Color classes.

4. Location

Location class has Location_name, Longitude and Latitude as data members. It gets the

data entered by user and passes it to the data storage.

5. Season

Season class has SeasonName, StartDate, and EndDate. It gets the data entered by user

and passes it to the data storage.

6. Insect

Insect has data member Insect name and is stored to data storage when user enters its

information.

7. Pesticide

Pesticide has data members PesticideID and PesticideName and is stored to data storage

when user enters information.

8. Shape

Shape has data members of leafShape and flowerShape and Image and is stored in

database when user enters its information

9. Color

Color has attributes of ColorName, ColorCode and is stored in database and when user

enters its information.

Chapter # 4

System Implementation

Flora Enroute


After design phase there is an implementation phase. At this stage you create an executable

version of the software. Implementation may involve developing programs in high- or low-level

programming languages or tailoring and adapting generic, off-the-shelf systems to meet the

specific requirements of an organization. [5]

4.1 Framework Selection

I have selected Dot net framework for to develop the system. The .Net Framework is an

application development platform that provides services for building, deploying and running

desktop, Web, and phone applications and Web services.

4.2 Database Selection

SQL Server 2008 is used for this project. Microsoft SQL Server is a relational database

server, developed by Microsoft.

4.3 Language Selection

After the selection of framework the next step is to decide a suitable language for our

project. Suitable means that the language must be flexible enough to support design. Things that

should be taken care of while selecting a language is:

Design is object oriented or structured

System is Web based or Desktop based

For my project, the system is object oriented and web-based.

ASP. Net

I used ASP.net to implement my project because it is specifically used for Web

applications. In this language the pages are easy to write because the source code

and HTML are together.

The languages combined within it are

JQuery

I used it for making interfaces with image sliders.

Google Map APIs

Google Maps are used to show locations of different flowers and plants. Other

information is given in Appendix

Flora Enroute


4.4 Tools Used

Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 IDE

Microsoft Visual Studio is an integrated development environment (IDE) from

Microsoft. It is used to develop console and graphical user interface applications

along with Windows Forms or WPF applications, web sites, web applications, and

web services in both native code together with managed code for all platforms

supported by Microsoft Windows, Windows Mobile, Windows CE, .NET

Framework, .NET Compact Framework and Microsoft Silverlight. [6]

Microsoft SQL Server 2008

Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Express is a powerful and reliable data management

system that delivers a rich set of features, data protection, and performance for

embedded application clients, light Web applications, and local data stores. It is

designed for easy deployment and rapid prototyping. [7]

4.5 Architecture Used

As Three - tier architecture is used so three layers are as follows:

Presentation Layer

The top most level of the application is the user interface. The main function

of the interface is to translate tasks and results in a way that user can

understand. The .aspx files of the project are interface related.

Business Logic

This layer coordinates the application, processes commands, makes logical

decisions and evaluations, and performs calculations. It also moves and processes

data between the two surrounding layers. The aspx.cs files of the project are

business logic related.

Data Access Layer

Information is stored and retrieved here from a database or file system. The

information is then passed back to the logic tier for processing and then

eventually back to the user. FloraClass is the data access layer of the project.

In Figure 4.1 these files are mapped on each layer.

Flora Enroute


4.6 Coding Guidelines

For this project, while coding, some standard are followed in order to avoid several

problems.

Quality of code (comments used for each function) increases life of system.

Chance of error is also decreased.

Making changes in system for developer and for any other person later becomes

easier.

Understanding the system becomes easier.

Method names start with upper case letter. While if a method name is

composite it is written without spaces or there is a hyphen

between words.

Comments have been used that makes the task of making changes in code easier

for the developer.

Variable names are meaningful that help to understand the purpose of their use.

Presentation layer (aspx files)

Business layer (aspx.cs files)

Data Access Layer (.cs files in FloraClass)

Chapter # 5

Testing

Flora Enroute


In testing some or all of the components in a system are integrated and the system is tested as a

whole. System testing should focus on testing component interactions. [5]

This chapter contains User Acceptance Test (UAT) specification which is built against use cases

stated in Requirement Analysis.

5.1 UAT Test Cases

User Acceptance Testing (UAT) is the last phase of the software testing process. During

UAT, actual software users test the software to make sure it can handle required tasks in real

world scenarios, according to specifications. UAT is one of the final and critical software project

procedures that must occur before newly developed software is rolled out to the market. [8]
