Pratik Shihora
Project Overview
Dog Breed Scanner is an AI-driven Android application that allows users to identify the breed of a dog or learn about many breeds by using a photo from the camera or gallery. It aims to make breed identification accessible without expensive DNA tests, and supplements recognition with breed facts and quizzes to expand user engagement.
Project Objectives
Enable quick breed identification using mobile image inputs
Provide a no-cost alternative to DNA tests for curiosity-driven users
Educate users with breed facts and quiz elements
Encourage user feedback to improve model accuracy
Scope of Work
AI/ML classifier integration for image recognition
Photo capture/upload UI / UX flow
Breed information pages with details such as origin, size, weight
Interactive features like quizzes and facts library
Feedback mechanism for classification correctness
Live App
📱 Google Play Store – Dog Breed Scanner – Auto Ident Google Play
The Challenge
Many dog owners want to know their pet’s breed without paying high costs for DNA tests. Traditional breed books or simple search tools are limited the app needed to give fast, visual AI-based recognition with added educational value to keep users engaged.
