UARANÁ: aplicativo para identificação de animais do bioma amazônico impressos em 3D

Abstract

Considering the use of technology for educational purposes, a project was developed to help students learn, in order to understand and learn more about Ecology with a focus on the Amazon Biome, through a model composed of 3D printed animals. The objective of the UARANÁ project is development application, through the camera, to recognize the image of animals produced by 3D printers and from there to provide extra information about the recognized animal, with images, texts and videos defined by the author of the model. For this, research was carried out to identify the possibility of developing this application using mobile technologies. Thus, using the incremental and iterative approach of the RUP (Rational Unified Process) project development model, a project was developed with an image classification model trained on the Teachable Machine to perform image recognition, being possible to query registered information about the objects in a database. Resulting in obtaining a mobile application for recognizing animals printed in 3D, which through the graphical interface returns information about the animals of the Amazon Biome.
