I built an image interpretation app once that was really interesting from a machine learning perspective. Using image magick I extracted shapes and based on the layout I was able to feed that into a "composition" algorithm that judged whether the image layout was good or not. I also implemented a "plant detection" feature to find out whether a plant was in the image or not. I think images is an area that could still benefit a lot from machine learning, i.e. facial recognition, image search (extracting meaning from images). thats just some of my ideas. machine learning is awesome I wish you all the best!!

Thank you, that sounds very interesting. I assume you would use known images with plants in them as the training set.
