Design Brief for Bird Identifier


Need of Design
Google search allows us to search for bird information but it works best when we have the name of the birds, through vague description of the bird, we cannot search for the bird we saw for a few seconds. To make bird finding an interesting process and to sustain the user interest, I want to build an interactive bird identifier. A proper design is required to direct the users towards accurate results and to prevent errors

Suggested Design Options
The design should be simple and easy to use by people of all age groups. Instead of asking the users to provide description, we should help them identify the birds by asking a set of questions. The questions must be well formulated so that they are easy to answer and the bird is easily identified by a few questions.

Constraints
Searching birds by existing image is tough, it wouldn't yield accurate results because mostly image search algorithms are based on the Meta tags or by the pixels. The image of the same bird when is sitting on a tree branch will be different from image in which it is flying. Image search works to a certain extent but it would be extremely engaging experience had it been working. Still, bird identification through features of the birds like color, size etc. is also very useful.

Schedule
Week-1. I gathered information. I deduce from my analysis that Google image search is amazing but it doesn't work when we have not provided proper description of the birds. In order to find proper information about birds, we need to know the names of the birds.
Week -2. I will formulate the set of questions to be asked to the users so that the birds can be identified. Designing the navigation of the website and the interface.
Week -3. To get the website up and integrate Google search and take user feedback and solve the errors.

Deliverable        
A working website which allows user to find information about birds based on description, search by name or by the family of birds.

Goals
To make the most accurate bird identifier which helps people identify the birds based on description, and then search for information about that bird.

I blinked and the day passed ...

Image
Time runs when we want it to stop ... and I somehow feel during the lecture hours time runs backwards ! The clock hands run anticlockwise ! I guess most of the students will agree....  and there are those moments when we want time to stop, when we want the moment to never pass... Today I want you to take a peek into my life's such moments...  That twinkle and affection in dad's eyes when he hugged me .... when I won the Navratri dance competition. He never expected me to handle walking properly so I could understand his emotions on seeing me literally floating in air. I knew how much elated I was when he placed a kiss on my forehead. I felt like on the top of the world, and my papa's princess....  That smile on my face extending for a km ... when My siblings were born. That desperate longing for them had finally come to an end. I was no more the only child of my parents. That rush of  excitement I experienced, I will never forget. Those months of planni...

It has famous alumni such as, P.B.Shelley, Clement Attlee, Harold Wilson and C.S.Lewis. There was a relief structure of William Jones in the chapel.It was a conservative men’s college with gender segregation The university life was staunchly male except meeting women in lectures or through other activities. The author’s room was on a staircase above the junior common room. Douglas Millin, sergeant major was the head of the university college of oxford. His duty was to monitor the behaviour of students. He combined abrasive manner with devotion to university and used a very rough speech. His job was anything and everything and he felt nobody could replace Naipaul. The dean, Giles Alington took a simpler and gentle role, he was more interested in the academic life than well-being of college. He was known for using double negatives. There were thirty college servant...
