The quarter is winding down and this has allowed me to focus more time on the project. I have been writing a lot of php and javascript over the past week. The current goal is to finish up the image upload tool. This tool will allow anyone to contribute their bird images to our project. Most of the ui is finished and I am currently focusing on handling the images server side. We save the original copy of the image as well as some scaled variations of it. There is also the issue of maintaining records of who is providing the images. We can use this info to give credit to the photographers.
While writing these tools, I am trying to keep them abstract enough so that I can reuse them later on with minimal changes. These tools are being created so that we can expand the category of "birds," but when we add another category to the system it would be great if all the tools just worked.
Last Tuesday we had a Visipedia "retreat" at Caltech. It was my first visit to the campus and it was great to finally check it out. Members of the Visipedia project from UCSD, Caltech, and Cal went over future plans for the project. Subhransu Maji joined us as well and talked about some of his work. He has some cool ui's for key point annotation.
