Inspiration

We thought it would be cool to do something with computer vision, we had read a paper about the merits of a specific image to image converter and wanted to apply it to a real world problem.

What it does

Uses a computer vision machine learning model to make predictions about a photo given a training set of input photos and output photos

How we built it

We built this from scratch (i.e. didn't employ preexisting APIs) using google Colab which gave us access to a GPU in order to run GPU-intensive computations.

Challenges we ran into

Creating our own dataset, employing neural network libraries, version control, GPU access. The biggest challenge is that we did not have enough time to fully train our data set as training even a weak model would have taken over 20 hours of run time given the current specs that we had access to.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We created a working algorithm that provides evidence of what we're trying to accomplish

What we learned

The underlying technology of neural networks and cycleGAN

What's next for JPEEG

This type of technology could be used for facial recognition of people wearing masks
