AWS_RecSys

This is a CLIP-Based Fashion Recommender with AWS.

📌 Sample Components for UI

Image upload
Submit button
Display clothing tags + recommendations

Mockup

A user uploads a clothing image → YOLO detects clothing → CLIP encodes → Recommend similar

Quick Start Guide

Step 1: Clone the GitHub Project

Step 2: Set Up the Python Environment

python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate  # On macOS or Linux
venv\Scripts\activate     # On Windows

Step 3: Install Dependencies

pip install -r requirements.txt

Step 4: Start the FastAPI Server (Backend)

uvicorn backend.app.server:app --reload

Once the server is running and the database is connected, you should see the following message in the console:

Database connected
INFO:     Application startup complete.

Step 5: Install Dependencies

Database connected INFO: Application startup complete.

npm install

Step 6: Start the Development Server (Frontend)

npm start

Once running, the server logs a confirmation and opens the app in your browser: http://localhost:3000/

What’s completed so far:

FastAPI server is up and running (24 Apr)
Database connection is set up (24 Apr)
Backend architecture is functional (24 Apr)
Basic front-end UI for uploading picture (25 Apr)

5. Mock Testing for AWS Rekognition -> bounding box (15 May)

PYTHONPATH=. pytest backend/app/tests/test_rekognition_wrapper.py

Tested Rekognition integration logic independently using a mock → verified it correctly extracts bounding boxes only when labels match the garment set
Confirmed the folder structure and PYTHONPATH=. works smoothly with pytest from root

6. Mock Testing for AWS Rekognition -> CLIP (20 May)

PYTHONPATH=. pytest backend/app/tests/test_clothing_tagging.py

Detecting garments using AWS Rekognition
Cropping the image around detected bounding boxes
Tagging the cropped image using CLIP

7. Mock Testing for full image tagging pipeline (Image bytes → AWS Rekognition (detect garments) → Crop images → CLIP (predict tags) + Error Handling (25 May)

Negative Test Case	Description
No Detection Result	AWS doesn't detect any garments — should return an empty list.
Image Not Clothing	CLIP returns vague or empty tags — verify fallback behavior.
AWS Returns Exception	Simulate `rekognition.detect_labels` throwing an error — check `try-except`.
Corrupted Image File	Simulate a broken (non-JPEG) image — verify it raises an error or gives a hint.

PYTHONPATH=. pytest backend/app/tests/test_clothing_tagging.py

detect_garments: simulates AWS Rekognition returning one bounding box: {"Left": 0.1, "Top": 0.1, "Width": 0.5, "Height": 0.5}
crop_by_bounding_box: simulates the cropping step returning a dummy "cropped_image" object
get_tags_from_clip: simulates CLIP returning a list of tags: ["T-shirt", "Cotton", "Casual"]

8. Run Testing for CLIP Output (30 May)

python3 -m venv venv
pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install git+https://github.com/openai/CLIP.git
python -m backend.app.tests.test_tag_extractor

Next Step:

Evaluate CLIP’s tagging accuracy on sample clothing images
Fine-tune the tagging system for better recommendations
Test the backend integration with real-time user data
Set up monitoring for model performance
Front-end demo
