What it does
Scans a clothing garment tag with the help of Google Vision AI API and outputs information on CO2 produced and water used in the garment's production and shipment. Additionally, a rating is returned for specific brands based on their ethical practices.
How we built it
A image of a clothing tag is taken on your phone, and the image metadata is sent to a Flask endpoint. The image is read with the help of Google Vision AI API and parsed into JSON to be sent to a Python algorithm to generate scores and water/CO2 values. These numbers are sent back to the React Native mobile app in the form of JSON where it is displayed.
Challenges we ran into
Sending image metadata to the Flask endpoint, React Native (as a whole lol), and processing the metadata back on the mobile app.
What we learned
Machine learning basics, React Native, Flask, algorithm creation.
