Challenges we ran into

Developing WildGuard360 presented several challenges that we overcame to create a seamless and effective platform. Accurately calculating the distance between lost and found pets required precise geolocation algorithms and handling variations in data accuracy. Integrating image matching technology to compare pets with a vast database also posed difficulties, particularly in ensuring fast and reliable results across different breeds and image qualities. Additionally, implementing snake species identification for accurate antivenom recommendations required extensive training of machine learning models on diverse datasets, ensuring the system's reliability in critical situations. Balancing these technical demands while ensuring user-friendly functionality was a complex but rewarding process.
