V1.0 (IOS only and needs to install Timer+ app)
Description:
This project is a web-based tool designed to analyze parking signs and automatically generate a timer link in the TimerPlus app. It utilizes a camera to capture an image of a parking sign, processes the image using Google's Gemini AI, and returns a formatted URL with the maximum allowed parking duration.
🛠 How It Works
Camera Activation – The web app accesses the user's camera to capture an image.
Image Processing – The captured image is sent to Gemini AI for text extraction and analysis.
Timer URL Generation – The AI returns a formatted timerplus:// URL with the allowed parking time.
Quick Timer Setup – If a valid URL is received, the app redirects the user to TimerPlus to start the parking timer instantly.
Retake & Restart – Users can retake the image and restart the process at any time.
