A way to crowd-source populations of endanger animals in a mobile platform.

This was written in 3 days for a hackathon (Make SPP 2020). To use this app you will have to switch the firebase key and google maps access keys with your own. The one on this repo expired.

• login and register accounts
• maps to see the location of other users' spottings
• a photo gallery to view all the submitted photos
• a camera button to submit your own photo
• an alert system notifing users about spotting of an animal in their area
• ways to view only the last 24 hours worth of spottings in maps and gallery
• a like and dislike system in gallery. Users can dislike fake photos that passed the check, and if enough dislikes accumulate the photo will disappear from the gallery for all users
• a way submit a request for a new animal to be added to the system

Environement Watch was written with Kotlin using Android Studio. It utilizes 4 main technologies:

• Firebase is used to login, store photo and location data, and store likes and dislikes.
• Google maps API is used to give users an interactive way to view the location of the spotting.
• Tensorflow is utilized to verify submissions. It will run through the pretrained network locally and comfirm whether the image is actually of a particular specieis.
• Android location, camera, notification, and gallery services used.
