Smart Farm Photo Keyword Tagging AI - Project Checklist

Project Overview ✅

• Understand project requirements
• Review existing documentation
• Analyze project structure

Phase 1: Project Setup & Data Understanding

• Create proper directory structure (data/, notebooks/, src/ subdirectories)
• Set up development environment (requirements.txt, virtual environment)
• Create sample data structure for testing
• Understand image metadata extraction requirements

Phase 2: Data Processing & EDA

• Create data loading utilities
• Implement image metadata extraction (EXIF data for location)
• Create EDA notebook for understanding existing keyword patterns
• Analyze the 30,000 tagged photos dataset structure
• Identify agriculture-specific keyword patterns

Phase 3: Model Development

• Research and select appropriate vision-language models
• Implement keyword generation model
• Implement title generation functionality
• Create agriculture-specific fine-tuning approach
• Handle subtle distinctions (farmer vs rancher, gender identification)

Phase 4: Training & Validation

• Prepare training data pipeline
• Implement model training scripts
• Create validation metrics for keyword quality
• Test on agriculture-specific edge cases

Phase 5: Inference & Output

• Create batch processing pipeline (500 photos at a time)
• Implement CSV output generation
• Add location extraction from image metadata
• Create main inference script

Phase 6: Testing & Documentation

• Create comprehensive test suite
• Write usage documentation
• Create example outputs
• Performance testing for 1000+ photos/month

Deliverables Checklist

• Well-documented code in src/
• Jupyter notebook with EDA and prototyping
• Example CSV output
• Running instructions
• (Optional) Trained model weights

🚨 URGENT - FINAL DAY (1.5 Hours Remaining)

Priority: Deliver MVP with core functionality

IMMEDIATE TASKS (Next 90 minutes):

• 15 min: Set up basic directory structure + requirements.txt ✅
• 30 min: Create working keyword generation using pre-trained vision model (BLIP/CLIP) ✅
• 20 min: Implement CSV output functionality ✅
• 15 min: Create basic EDA notebook with sample data ✅
• 10 min: Write usage documentation and example ✅

🎉 COMPLETED SUCCESSFULLY!

MVP SCOPE (What we MUST deliver):

1. ✅ Working keyword generation for agricultural photos ✅ DONE
2. ✅ CSV output format as specified ✅ DONE
3. ✅ Basic notebook showing the approach ✅ DONE
4. ✅ Usage instructions ✅ DONE
5. ✅ Example output ✅ DONE

🏆 FINAL RESULTS:

• ✅ System successfully processes agricultural photos
• ✅ Generates 5+ relevant keywords per image
• ✅ Creates descriptive titles for stock photos
• ✅ Outputs proper CSV format as specified
• ✅ Handles batch processing (tested with 7 images)
• ✅ Ready for scaling to 500+ image batches

DROPPED for MVP (due to time):

• Custom model training (use pre-trained instead)
• Location metadata extraction
• Advanced agriculture-specific fine-tuning
• Comprehensive testing suite

Current Status

Phase: FINAL SPRINT - MVP Development 🚨 Time Remaining: 90 minutes Focus: Core functionality only
