Create a basic foundation app for future feature implementation #14

Open sunn-e opened 4 years ago

sunn-e commented 4 years ago

I will be adding a simple android app with tensorflow lite backend. This will work as backbone. task list:

[x] Basic app
[ ] Shoutout bounding box text.( added on 14th oct)
[ ] Add vertical line and output left or right
[ ] Add horizontal line and output quadrant number. e.g; human(object name)+in+left bottom(quadrant location), dog in right lower corner
[ ] Add an option to increase the number of lines/blocks.
- [ ] ( 3 X 3)
- [ ] (2 X 4)
[ ] Add haptic feedback mode(needs brainstorming as to how it cn be useful- do we need external device or smartphone's vibration motor?)
[ ] Integrating other features in this module

Hi @sunn-e, I would like to work on this. and I have a question. There're some issues that start with "Create an app that..." which I didn't quite understand. is it going to be one app having these features or several apps with separate features?

sunn-e commented 4 years ago

Hi @itsaligadimi , I want every app to be standing on its own. I do not want a single app with lot of features. I want to create several apps that can be small and easy to maintain. If you want, I may create a different repository for you for the issue that you want to solve. This is all just to develop an array of small size apps so that even a basic smartphone of third world country can run it as per expectation. Am I clear? :) tldr; separate apps one feature mentioned in the issues under separate repositories.

itsaligadimi commented 4 years ago

@sunn-e Yeah, I got it. and thanks for allowing me to do this, I'm glad to participate. And I think yeah it would be better to have different repositories for the apps. A few more questions:

What's the code architecture you use?
I assume every repository will follow the above checklist, right?

What's the code architecture you use?

I'm not a professional android developer. I am not aware of any. But I would like to know more about it if you know.

I assume every repository will follow the above checklist, right?

Not necessary. You may use this as a template or create your own. Everything is fine. Check list is just to keep track of development at a single place.

Please ping me on gitter if you want a new repository for any new idea. The basic object detector app will stay in this /Aamba repo.

sunn-e commented 4 years ago

Adding a feature. Why not give sound output for the bounding box. Example, if an object detected is laptop, app should give sound output as laptop. This seems much better than adding a vertical line and then telling what the object is and where it is. Instead we can add that as advanced feature later on.
