Is it a bird?

Based on this xkcd comic

XKCD comic 1425 titled "Tasks"

The idea here is to bring the comic to life, allowing the user to perform a GIS* lookup of a photo to check whether it is from a national park and whether there's a bird in it.

I've built an image classifier using a pretrained model from fast.ai and trained it to identify birds, forests and squirrels.

The app also uses TomTom Search API, which accepts an address or geographical coordinates, and returns the points of interest in the location, for example, a park.

*GIS in this context stands for Geographic Information System

Next steps

  • Responsive design
  • TypeScript
  • More xkcd graphics
  • Image uploading
  • Input location
  • Try different image classification models
