This project is to recognize brand logos in uploaded photos within Flickr accounts and leverage them for advertising.
This project has 4 parts:
- A Python module based on Flickr API to regularly pull photo stream from Flickr account.
- A C++ module based on OpenCV to recognize brand logo in the photos.
- A Chrome extension to substitute ads on Yahoo News portal if there is brand logo recognized in the photos.
- A web server directory which contains status endpoints on which the Chrome extention depends.
This is a hack project to simply demonstrate the idea.
