Inspiration
We wanted to combine our knowledge and interest in computer vision/machine learning to tackle the area of sustainability.
What it does
We categorize different objects that are placed in front of a camera as either items that can be recycled, used for compost, or if they are regular trash.
How we built it
We built a website using React JS and incorporated computer vision algorithms using Python to categorize the objects.
Challenges we ran into
We were planning on making a mobile app. However, we were not able to do so due to compatibility issues. Therefore, we improvised and decided to make a web app using React JS.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Even though succumbed to a major obstacle, we still did not give up and even stayed up all night to try and make the most of our time during the hackathon.
What we learned
We learnt that in software programming, you run into a lot of errors. Even if something seems easy or trivial, often times those are the tasks that turn out to be the biggest headaches.
What's next for You Click We Pick
Create a mobile app, improve the UI for our app, get a more accurate dataset, and a wider range of classes.
