AllerScan is a tool designed to assist users in checking for common allergens within cosmetic or skincare products they intend to use. Users can simply capture an image of the product's ingredient label and input it into the program, which then generates a detection outcome. The process involves executing the AllerScan program on a computer, following prompts to input the path of the label image. Subsequently, the program displays identified common allergens, their purposes in the product, and the count of allergens present in the item.
This is the final project of ECIC(English Communication for International Competition) Course, CCU.
