UPT (Urban Pollution Tracker)

Project Title: UPT — Urban Pollution Tracker

Overview

UPT (Urban Pollution Tracker) is a sustainability-focused mobile app that empowers communities and tourists to detect, report, and visualize pollution in real time. By combining satellite imagery, user-submitted photos, and Algorithm-based waste detection, UPT provides an interactive environmental map that highlights both polluted areas and clean zones across cities and tourist destinations.

Core Idea

UPT makes environmental awareness actionable. Users can easily report pollution, view live cleanliness maps, and even participate in sponsored cleanup events. The app bridges the gap between local communities, eco-conscious travelers, and sustainability-focused companies through transparent data and rewarding engagement.

Key Features

• Satellite Data Integration: Tracks environmental waste patterns and large-scale pollution zones.

• Crowdsourced Reporting: Users upload photos to report litter or clean areas.

• Algorithm Verification: Analyzes images to validate reports and identify waste types automatically.

• Tourism Mode: Helps travelers discover cleaner, safer, and more sustainable destinations.

• API-Driven Architecture: Backend built for scalability, hosted on Vercel, and accessible for integrations.

 Mission

To create a global map of pollution awareness — transforming waste reporting into a shared effort that drives cleaner cities, responsible tourism, and stronger communities.
