Description

You are allowed to take and tag 1 picture with 2 items.
If these are the same items, this will not be a problem,
however, problems in the excel-sheet can occur when to take & tag a picture with different items.

Take 1 picture with:

  • plastic bottle, coca-cola
  • glass bottle, pepsi-cola.
    This will result in a line in the excel-sheet with 4 tags:
    plastic bottle, glass bottle, coca-cola, pepsi-cola.

There is no way to know (as a user who downloaded the data) which brand was the plastic one and which was the glass one.

Being able to take pictures with more than 1 item is really cool, but then there has also got to be a way to give tags to each item and store these per item.

Research direction

Start by tracing how multiple items and their tags are represented when Excel data is generated; the payload does not name specific files or tests. Done means a picture containing different items preserves each item's tags separately in the downloaded Excel data, so users can identify which brand belongs to which item.
