Inspiration
Often times, at least one of our members had trouble sleeping because of artificial light. After discussing, we realized that all of us had frequent problems because of artificial light. We decided to further research on the topic, and to our surprise found out that light pollution is a major problem that affects many many people.
What it does
The user takes a photo, and uploads it to our database in which scientists can use the geographical data, the inputted time, and the light particles in the photo to analyze the light pollution. This helps us to further understand light pollution and its affects.
How we built it
We used python, html, .css, and javascript to code the software.
Challenges we ran into
Getting the servers to equally communicate with each other and also finding a way to determine the light in the image properly.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We were able to make a completely functioning website that took an input and analyzed for the first time. The website gives an accurate output to our input, and does the desired function.
What we learned
How to properly communicate with each other, how to work as a team, and how to divide and conquer. We also learned everyone's strengths and weaknesses, allowing us to assign everyone with what they did best.
What's next for Restoration of The Night
We look to support more than one country, rather than stay only in the US.
