A playful yet thought-provoking potato beauty contest that humorously critiques societal beauty standards. Using OpenCV for image recognition and Arduino-controlled LED displays, the project evaluates potatoes based on smoothness, spot count, color uniformity, size, and color lightness—all judged on a dazzling acrylic stage.
By transforming an everyday vegetable into a contestant, "Rate This Spud!" challenges the instability of external judgment and identity construction, inviting viewers to reconsider what truly defines beauty.
