Method. Your photo is resized to 224×224 and reduced to 102 numbers — the mean and spread of colour in nine regions, two greenness indices, an 8-bin brightness histogram per channel, and left/right + top/bottom symmetry. TabPFN is a pretrained tabular model: it is not trained here, it just compares those 102 numbers against a fixed set of labelled examples drawn from the training split.
The friendly number. On held-out lab photos it scores
—. Chance is 0.026.
The honest number. On — real field photos from a different
lab, accuracy drops to —. Lab leaves are flat and evenly lit
on a plain grey background; field photos are cluttered. Colour statistics partly
measure the background, so treat this as a screening demo, not a diagnosis.
Deterministic. One estimator, fixed seed — the same image always gives the same answer, and your upload never changes the model.
