Server-side script for data collection of Scene Sketches.

SketchX-SST Server-End Code

Description:

This is a server-side code that servers client-end code found here.

• It sends an image URL to the client (or user) which it recognize.
• The image is downloaded by the user from this URL.
• The user then draws a sketch and write a caption and sends it back to the server.
• The server verifies the client (or user) and saves the sketch and caption in a JSON file.
• Assumption: size of the data collection is small like 1GB. There is no database linked to it. A large-scale data collection needs a separate database (like MongoDB etc.)
