Same building more information

We wanted to create an app that allowed you to take an image of a well known building or monument and receive relevant information about local events and bits of history about the building/monument.

RecognitionAPI

Is the backend for the program. It uses Azure AI to analyze images of buildings and returns information about them, including events and a short paragraph from wikipedia to view. It uses a REST Python flask server to convert a bytecode64 converted image back into a png for the Azure AI to analyze, once the AI returns a match, it sends back a JSON object with the information for the iOS program.

RecognitionAI

The program is developed for iOS using Swift. By selecting an image of a building in your gallery, it will convert the image into a bytecode64 object and send it to the Python REST server to be processed. Once the app receives the return data it will iterate through them and display the information to the user.
