Flagpole

A python program that recognises flags of different countries

How does it work?

It uses a simple image hash library called imagehash, it gets the average hash and compares the hash of every image towards the image that you put into the program.

How Can I use it

Note. This is incomplete

You will need to have python 3.6.7 or above installed with pip.

1. Make sure you have internet connection and clone this reopsitory (or download as zip), and make your terminal's current directory (on windows open cmd and type cd <path/to/flagpole>).
2. If you have it as your current directory, type pip install requirements.txt --trusted-ost pypi.org --trusted-host files.pythonhosted.org and wait for the requirements to install.
3. If you are on windows, then extract the contents of flagpole.zip to somewhere you will remember or if you are on linux, extract the contents of the flagpole.tar.gz file.
4. Run flagpole.py, enter the path to the extracted file (from step 3) without qoutes. eg. C:\\Users\simplebinary\Flagpole not "C:\\Users\simplebinary\Flagpole" or if you are on linux path/to/Falgpole, not "path/to/Flagpole".
5. Take picture or download picture of flag off the internet and give the path to that image.
6. Wait for the results.
