This winter, Seattle experienced an unprecedented volume of potholes, graffiti, and abandoned vehicles, among other symptoms of a rapidly growing city. These issues typically go ignored and unreported because people don’t know how to report them or are off-put by the large and unintuitive forms. PicFix aims to revolutionize the reporting process by utilizing computer vision and form auto-filling to make reporting problems as easy as taking a picture. Nearly all data required for the report is pulled from the photo to create a faster, simpler experience for the user. Smart images: worth more than a thousand words.
