Cache It!

The Cache It! app's goal is to make inventory from large scale warehouses or at home collecting easy and efficient. Scan an item, and in real time, it will classify its name, value, and other aspects.

Inspiration

I collect and sell trading cards and was interested in the idea of cataloguing my items quickly and easily

What it does

The Catch It! application scans an item and then finds its inherent value. The user can then store it in their "Cache" to track their total and individual item value.

How we built it

The project was developed in Python utilizing the Google Vision and eBay Developer API

Challenges we ran into

The project mostly came into problems dealing with identifying the items. It is much better than it started but has a lot of work to be done.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

I am proud of this project because it is nothing like I have worked on in the past. Coming from an Electrical Engineering background, this project taught me a lot about what I am capable of and how much more I can learn.

What we learned

My main takeaways from this project is my basic learning of Python GUI construction and the use of AI and image processing from various APIs.

What's next for Cache It!

Pursing this application further, I will work towards improving the identification of objects scanned and maybe even implement a machine learning aspect to build onto its own structure to recognize more items for the future.
