Cultural Artifact Recognition

Step 1: Define the Project Scope

1. Objective: Develop an app that identifies cultural artifacts from images and provides information about them.
2. Focus: Use pre-trained computer vision models to recognize artifacts.
3. Tools: OpenCV, TensorFlow, pre-trained Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) models.

Step 2: Set Up the Environment

1. Install Python: Ensure Python is installed on your system.
2. Set Up Virtual Environment: Create a virtual environment to manage dependencies.
3. Install Required Libraries: Install OpenCV, TensorFlow, and other necessary libraries.

Step 3: Data Collection

1. Identify Sources: Find datasets containing images of cultural artifacts. Public datasets like Google Arts & Culture or Kaggle datasets can be useful.
2. Data Format: Ensure the images are labeled and organized appropriately.

Step 4: Load Pre-trained CNN Model

Select a Model: Choose a pre-trained model such as InceptionV3, VGG16, or ResNet50 from TensorFlow.

Step 5: Image Preprocessing

Preprocess Input Images: Resize and preprocess the images to match the input requirements of the pre-trained model.

Step 6: Make Predictions

Predict Artifacts: Use the pre-trained model to predict the cultural artifact in the image.

Step 7: Create the Information Database

Artifact Information Database: Create a simple database (e.g., JSON file) containing information about different cultural artifacts.

Step 8: Develop the Application Interface

Create a Simple Interface: Use Flask to create a web interface for uploading images and displaying results.

Step 9: Test the App

1. Test with Sample Images: Test the app by uploading sample images of cultural artifacts and verifying the predictions and information.
2. Collect Feedback: Gather feedback to improve the accuracy and usability of the app.

Step 10: Deployment

1. Host the App: Deploy the app on a cloud platform (e.g., AWS, Heroku).
2. Monitor and Update: Continuously monitor the app's performance and update the model and information database as needed.
