Image Recognizer App (WIP)



This was done for image identification of any particular classification of images that are identified by a script trained on data sets and has the intelligence to identify a good number of objects and give generic info about it.
The overview of the idea is to create an image that captures an image and delegates it to a server where the script(ML trained script) is present and get the processed result and publish it to the user. The delegation method is via a rest call from the app to the server port where the script is running.

The current plan is to run a python flask app in a certain port in the localhost and make Rest calls from the app(In the form of threads that run in the background.) and process information obtained from the server and store it in the database.

Step 1: Building a simple hello world flask app.

Step 2: RestFul API supported android application.

I didn't have a subscription to lynda.com. But there is a workaround to get access to a good set of tutorials for free.
You can go ahead and pay the subscription and use the services. But just in case you want to try the workaround. Please watch the following video and create a free subscription account on lynda.com

Note: Started working on it and currently put on hold due to other commitments. Will write follow up update posts when I get back to working on it. Until then, see you. Happy coding! :)

The one where Raj went for Cycling (First time Experience - 50km circuit)

The Past: I met a friend Srini in violin class and got to know that he goes for cycling with a bunch of explorers once in a month. I was excited and told him I had a cycle but haven't done cycling and would love to try. So he told me he will inform when they go for a ride. The Present:  Srini texts me that they were planning a morning ride of approx 50-60km circuit. Even though I was excited, I was a bit nervous if I could push myself for that far. I did think of it for a while and I was like "If not now, then when??? ". I said yes. It was a Sunday morning that we started off. The weather in Bangalore was a big threat as it was raining pretty consistently for the past fortnight. We trusted few weather reports which stated that there is not going to be any rain in the morning and there might be slight rain in the afternoon. Srini started from HSR, two of friends joined in Bellandur, I joined in Kadubeesanahalli junction and two more joined in ISRO junction. The r...

Implementing a file monitoring script using python.

The idea is to implement a method where a user will be able to modify an xml file and the modifications will trigger a certain action in the script. This has to be implemented in python. WatchDogs is a python library that helps in file system monitoring. API reference : https://pythonhosted.org/watchdog/quickstart.html#quickstart Useful link :  http://brunorocha.org/python/watching-a-directory-for-file-changes-with-python.html The example scripts provided in the above links give a good headstart to play around with the file system and figure what is the exact use case that you want to achieve. Current use case:  The python script that I run is bundled as a container. There are mounted volumes in the container. So using an external script I am planning to modify the xml file and since the same file is modified inside the container, the python thread that is listening to the file modification event will trigger an action like sending a mail, make an entry to ...

Deploying a python web app to Google Cloud.

This is the place to start if you already have some experience in python, virtual env, flask. If you want to have some hands-on on how to deploy a simple python based flask app in Google Cloud. please refer to the following link. https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/standard/python/getting-started/python-standard-env The link provides all the instructions to get your python app up and running. Here are some points to be noted when you are doing this activity. The standard environment only works with python2.7 and not with python 3.5 and above. If you have already installed python3.5, please perform an alternate install of python2.7 as well.  If you're an active developer who had been developing using python3.5 and don't want to modify the python3.5 to python symlink on your machine, please perform the above testing activity in a python virtual env. You need to create the virtualenv folder using python2.7 explicitly using the following command  $ virtualenv -p /...
