Local development: backend (FastAPI) + frontend (static HTML).

• Backend: backend/ (FastAPI, SQLAlchemy, YOLO integration)
• Frontend: frontend/index.html (single-file static front-end)

Quick start (local)

1. Create a Python virtual environment and activate it:

python -m venv venv
.\venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1

2. Install backend dependencies:

cd backend
pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Start backend (from repo root):

# From project root
python start_backend.py

4. Serve the frontend (any static server). For example, with VS Code Live Server or:

python -m http.server 5500 -d frontend

5. Open http://localhost:5500 and use the UI.

Notes

• Backend default port: 8001 (see start_backend.py).
• Add your secrets to backend/.env (do NOT commit .env).
• Large model files (*.pt) and credentials are ignored by .gitignore.
