What are we?

DogArmor is an intelligent web app that recommends the perfect collar, harness, and leash combo for your dog utilizing: * Visual information -- AI will analyze a picture of the dog, looking for anatomical structure, size, and more * Behavioral information -- the dog's habits and behaviors * Environmental information -- the dog's surroundings * Budget

Overview

🟡 Why Fit Matters:

A properly fitting dog harness is essential for your dog's comfort, safety, and control during walks and activities.

• Too tight? Can cause chafing, skin irritation, or restrict movement/breathing.
• Too loose? Increases the chance of escape, snagging on objects, or uneven pressure that causes injury.

🔴 The Problem:

There are countless options—back-clip, front-clip, dual-clip, step-in—plus materials like nylon, mesh, leather, neoprene.
How do you choose the right one for your dog?

🟢 Our Solution:

DogArmor makes it simple.

You answer a few short questions about your dog's behavior, environment, and your budget, then upload a couple of photos.
Our AI analyzes everything—anatomy, size, habits—and recommends a tailored gear combo (harness, collar, and leash included).

How It Works

1. Upload a photo of your dog to help us understand its size and shape.

1. Fill out a short form about your dog’s behavior, habits, and environment.

1. Get instant gear recommendations based on both the photo and your answers.

1. View product links and details tailored to your dog’s unique profile. -- TO BE IMPLEMENTED

Features

🐾 Anatomy Detection — Our model analyzes key anatomical points (neck, chest, belly, back length) using pose estimation techniques to determine fit and comfort levels.

🎯 Behavior Personalization — Users can input behavioral traits like pulling tendency, aggression, or training level. These parameters are combined with anatomy data to personalize gear suggestions.

🛒 Intelligent Gear Matching — Our platform pulls product data from online retailers (e.g., Amazon, Chewy) and cross-references it with your dog’s profile to recommend the most suitable harness, collar, and leash combinations.

🖥️ Easy-to-Use Interface — A clean, intuitive web interface powered by Flask and Tailwind CSS, optimized for mobile and desktop, makes uploading photos and receiving gear suggestions fast and frictionless.

🧩 Future-Proof Backend — Modular Flask API architecture designed for scalability, with plans to incorporate multiple image angles, user feedback loops, and model fine-tuning.

🔄 End-to-End Pipeline — From image input to final product recommendation, the backend handles preprocessing, pose inference, behavior integration, and response generation—all automatically.
