The Going is Good

A lot of progress has been made with the project over the past couple weeks. The app is actually "working," meaning that the user interface can interact with the server/vision algorithms and can correctly identify a bird species. A break down of the stuff working:

• The user can select an image from their photo album, or they can use the camera to take an image
• The user can submit the image to the server, which kicks off a new session and starts the question-answer cycle
• The user can answer a multiple choice question and submit their answer
• The user can answer a part click question and submit their answer
• The user can change the certainty of their answer ("Definitely," "Probably," "Not Visible")

Its nice to have this stuff working, and fairly well tested, but there is still a lot of work to be done. A list of stuff that needs to be finished:

• The user should be able to view more information about a particular answer
• The user should be able to view more information about a particular species solution
• The user should have some way of "finishing" their session (either the problem was solved or not)
• Several "specialty" features need to be implemented, including letting a user remove a bird species from the list of results, and to be able to look "under the hood" and check out "part heat readings"

Here are some screen shots showing the current progress:
