Inspiration: There is a lot of food wastage in the world and we would like to use ML to aid us in better allocating resources without the need for human intervention.
What it does: Uses a Web application running CNN compiled from Edge Impulse to classify apples into 3 categories (Ripe, Unripe, Rotten)
How we built it: Edge Impulse, Python, Flask
Challenges: we ran into: Lack of dataset for effective machine learning,
Accomplishments that we're proud of: Satisfied with prototype finished within 45H
What we learned: Basics of CNN, Web programming, Data augmentation, Data cleaning
What's next for: Apple Software Hardware integration to automatically remove rotten food, and to have a larger dataset to better remove fruits other than apples.
