🐝 Honeycomb cell detection & management

🎯 Purpose​

Automatically detect honeycomb cell content on uploaded frame photos and convert it into usable hive insights (brood/resources balance) for inspection and decision-making.

πŸ“Ή Demo​

🎭 User Story​

  • As a beekeeper
  • I want the app to analyze frame photos and classify comb cells
  • So that I can quickly understand brood pattern and food stores without manual cell counting
  • And compare this across inspections over time

πŸ”¬ What the Web-App Actually Does​

Based on the current app architecture and services:

  • Frame photo upload triggers background AI jobs (including detect_cells)
  • Cell detections are stored per frame side and linked with inspection context
  • The app keeps both raw detections and summary percentages
  • Detection summary includes key resource/brood categories used in UI and analytics:
    • brood
    • capped brood
    • drone brood
    • eggs
    • pollen
    • nectar
    • honey
    • empty/other classes (model-dependent)

πŸš€ Key Benefits​

  • Fast frame interpretation: Replace manual visual estimation with automatic detection
  • Consistent structure: Every frame side gets comparable resource/brood metrics
  • Inspection continuity: Results stay tied to inspection snapshots for historical comparison
  • Action support: Helps with decisions like feeding, split planning, or closer follow-up

🧭 Typical Workflow​

  1. Upload frame photos from hive/frame view
  2. Wait for AI processing to complete
  3. Open frame side and review detections/percentages
  4. Create inspection snapshots to preserve state over time
  5. Compare older vs current inspection resource patterns
