This week I focused on finalizing the locally run code. I added the queue functionality where if a match cannot be sent up to the database for whatever reason, such as loss of internet connection, the data will be saved locally, and it will be retried later. I have also written a main function that will take a picture and send matches every 40 seconds, check for database updates every 200 seconds, and retry failed entries to the database every 200 seconds. Due to some problems we have with initializing the camera, that is the only aspect of the locally run code we do not have working right now. The code can be found here. In addition to the locally run code, I have made a prototype for the front-end website using lovable for law enforcement to look for matches. They can see the currently active amber alerts, possible matches sent to the database, and verified matches where the larger models on the cloud confirm the result of the possible matches. It also has useful filtering options such as filtering by confidence level or license plate number. The website can be found here.
My progress is on schedule. By next week, I hope to implement the verification process of possible matches into verified matches with Eric, and have an MVP.
