Inspiration
Instagram--ads are targeted based on hashtags, but not always on the images themselves!
What it does
Our app takes in a photo url, recognizes key features of the photo, and gives targeted ads and shopping results based on these features.
How we built it
We used node-Red and IBM's bluemix platform, specifically the Watson image recognition API. We used HTML and javascript, as well as a lot of regular expressions.
Challenges we ran into
We ran out of our free trial number of images :O Also we used completely new languages and platforms.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We came into this not entirely sure what an API was and with no experience in the languages above, so we're proud we even got to this stage.
What we learned
Too much to list :)
What's next for pic2ad
Make our application seamless and more automated.
