Fruit Recognition Simple GUI

Recently, I have made a simple Graphical User Interface (GUI) for purpose of checking the application behaviour and to determine if there are any bugs so far. To design a small and not complicated UI like this we do not need to use paper and pencil, instead we can think what is really needed and start to creating the GUI.



  1. Picture area. After dropping picture over the "Drag and Drop" area (#4) picture comes up in area with number 1.
  2. Label area - Area in which the program will show the responses from the Google API with a labels correspondingly to recognised image content.
  3. Score area - responses from the Google API about score of the current element in per-cents. To clarify, probability that the label is the same object as the one on the picture
  4. Area to drag and drop image for Google API and to show in the Picture area (#1).
  5. Progress bar.
  6. Status bar.

I also prepared a small video to show how the GUI looks and works so far "in action".




Up to this point everything works as I expected. However, there are minor bugs, which are easy to solve, Eg.:
  • dragged and dropped picture, which does not contain picture of fruit comes up in picture box area,
  • pictures dragged and dropped straight from the internet browser throws exception
These are the only bugs I have found so far.


Further plans:
  • Implement different options for recognition like facial recognition with smile score, recognition of other objects than only fruits,
  • Redesign UI (probably in Universal Windows Platform) to provide better user experience and in-app look

As my outcome, I have learn how to design and work with simple user interface and how to quickly organise elements to work with the Google Cloud.

To conclude, in this blog post I showed how my project is looking so far. Furthermore, there is small explanation of elements that I have in my application and small demonstration how it is working.

    Great project development post! You have used screenshots and added a video, which shows a good range of tech and appropriate choice. This shows how you are using your skills and also reflection on what you have discovered so far. I'm very impressed with your engagement with the project so far. Well done!

Survey results and analysis + SWOT Analysis

In the last weeks I have created a survey to gather informations, which can potentially give me some ideas about my software and how I can improve it in order to fulfil expectations of potential clients. To analyse all of data gathered I used charts that were generated automatically in the Google Forms and SWOT Analysis of data in charts. In the first part of my survey I am asking respondents about themselves do predict if there are any chances that they are on some higher positions in companies that they are working for. The variation of both higher age and higher education - age 30+ and bachelors level of education and above makes possibilities that the respondent is currently on some higher position. I decided to use this variation instead of asking respondent directly, because I am aware of that maybe not everyone want to share such information with survey even if they are anonymous. As we are able to see on the chart there is an impressive number of people who have educati...

Google - Case study with reflection + link to Google docs

The case study can be accessed from: https://docs.google.com/document/d/18tfwey_ZNtgt6GL4LtRNodJPLf6IAsNPKpb-A6ZqH78/edit?usp=sharing Google – Company and services Google is a company founded by two students of the Stanford University – Larry Page and Sergey Brin in 1995 (Google, n.d.). They started from a project of the page, which is indexing other pages in the web to be accessible from one place and with that kind of solution other students started to use their product. Further, they have caught the attention of big investors and some of this investor coming from Silicon Valley. Investors were that interested in the solution of two students that they have decided to give them a cheque for a $100 000 and this is how the company has grown from a small garage project to an official Google Inc. in 1998 (Google, n.d.). The Google company offers many different services. Various services can be used by different groups of people like regular users. A regular user has ac...
