Hero Vision

Inspiration

Inspired in part by the Not Hotdog Silicon Valley app and because I wanted to test a new google cloud service.

What it does

It identifies if there is either a superhero or a supervillain in any image. It also displays the colors that the supersuit has.

How I built it

Using node.js for the backend, dust.js for templating, google cloud storage to upload the images and google cloud's vision ai to analyze the images.

Challenges I ran into

The main challenge was the Vision AI api, trying to get the authentication working and using the cloud storage. Then trying to get the necessary results from the Vision AI api.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

• I used a number of apis and frameworks that I hadn't used before.
• Being able to visually display the color analysis from the image.
