# SketchCalc
SketchCalc is an interactive web application that allows users to draw mathematical expressions directly on a canvas. The application uses machine learning to predict the drawn symbols and converts them into a formal mathematical expression. It then evaluates the expression to provide the calculated answer.

## Features
- **Drawing Canvas**: Users can draw mathematical symbols and expressions on a canvas using mouse input.
- **Real-time Prediction**: The application predicts the drawn symbols and converts them into mathematical notation.
- **Bounding Box Calculation**: Drawn symbols are enclosed in bounding boxes to isolate individual symbols.
- **Integration and Differentiation**: Supports integral and differential calculus with custom variables.
- **Evaluation**: The predicted mathematical expressions are evaluated to provide the answer.
- **Custom Variables**: Users can include custom variables in their expressions.
- **Elapsed Time Measurement**: The time taken to parse and evaluate the drawing is displayed.
## How It Works
1. **Drawing**: Users draw mathematical expressions on the canvas.
2. **Path Storage**: The paths of the drawings are stored and processed to determine bounding boxes.
3. **Prediction**: Each bounding box is sent to a server that uses a machine learning model to predict the symbol.
4. **Display**: The predicted symbols are displayed on the canvas.
5. **Calculation**: The final expression is evaluated, and the result is displayed to the user.
## Example Usage
- Draw an integral on the canvas, and the application will recognize it as an integral symbol, convert it to the proper mathematical notation, and calculate the result.
- Use custom variables in your expressions to evaluate them dynamically.
## Technology Stack
- **Frontend**: JavaScript, HTML5 Canvas, CSS
- **Backend**: Flask (for prediction API)
- **Machine Learning**: TensorFlow
## Installation
1. Clone the repository:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/Frost-Lord/SketchCalc.git
cd SketchCalc
```
2. Download the model and dataset
```bash
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1u9L_ByfnE8vfx2AMju7VChWGTsQkbbgm?usp=sharing
Extract "model.keras" to -> ./
Extract "dataset" to -> ./
```
3. Install dependencies:
```bash
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
4. Run the server:
```bash
python web.py
```
5. Open `index.html` in your browser to start drawing and calculating.
# Dev Notes:
## Testing on Windows
```bash
# Install Python 3.11
sudo pacman -S python31
# Create a new virtual environment
python3.11 -m venv .venv
# Activate the virtual environment
.\venv\Scripts\activate || source venv/bin/activate || source .venv/bin/activate.fish
# Install dependencies
python -m pip install --upgrade pip setuptools wheel
python -m pip install opencv-python flask flask_cors pillow "tensorflow[and-cuda]"
# Test if the GPU is being detected
python -c "import tensorflow as tf; print(tf.__version__); print(tf.config.list_physical_devices('GPU'))"
# Keras to tflite
python convert_to_tflite.py -i model.keras -o model.tflite
```
# Keras to WebModel
```bash
python KerasToWebModel.py
```
##### Dev notes:
```
set -gx LD_LIBRARY_PATH (python -c 'import site, glob, os; sp = site.getsitepackages()[0]; print(":".join(glob.glob(os.path.join(sp, "nvidia", "*", "lib"))))') $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
python -c "import tensorflow as tf; print(tf.__version__); print(tf.config.list_physical_devices('GPU'))"
