It is common to get lost in an airline when landing or departing. My app takes that into account and will display an airline map on the screen that shows you the arrival and departure gates when the plan lands. If the user would like to continue viewing the map, they can view it on their device via email or sms. We built it using Python and Processing and I ran into challenges from fields of computer science that we've never dealt with before. Challenges such as edge detection, shape recognition and object detection within a 2D image. One accomplishment that I am proud of, is the edge detection that I have tweaked my A* algorithm to utilize. This will force the algorithm to not go out of the boundaries of any given map and it taught me just how difficult computer vision is. To move forward and scale the application even further, more maps can be utilized and with some graph structure tweaks, the app can be fully scaled with little to no worry.
