Lunch-Time Web App
December 2024
A web app tracking dining hall occupancy using AI-based camera tracking with PyTorch and YOLO.
## Overview
The Lunch-Time Web App was developed as a competition project to solve the problem of dining hall congestion. The application uses AI-based camera tracking to monitor occupancy levels in real-time, helping students find the least crowded dining options.
## Features
- Real-time tracking of dining hall occupancy
- AI-based camera analysis using PyTorch and YOLO
- Image processing with OpenCV
- Integration with public APIs for data enrichment
- Ultra-fast response time (updates every 0.5ms)
## Technologies Used
The project was built using React and JavaScript for the frontend, with PyTorch and YOLO (You Only Look Once) for AI-based camera tracking. OpenCV was used for image processing, and the system was integrated with public APIs for real-time data.
## Results
- Optimized response time by 90%, achieving updates every 0.5ms
- Won 2nd place in the school's Data Science Project competition
- Successfully implemented an AI solution to a common campus problem
