(10/18) Weekly Status Update: Shivani

This week I set up a remote desktop on the Raspberry Pi Zero W with a VNC viewer, to be able to see the input from the camera. And started taking pictures of the platform we have designated as our initial clutter test zone. Initially, the camera input was blurred, so spent a while getting the camera into focus. Once that was done, I uploaded my code to take pictures of images with the camera every few minutes, and to subtract the image with the initial background image, to create a foreground mask.

At this point, two major things are left to be done with computer vision:
– Send data from Raspberry Pi Zero W to Raspberry Pi 4
– Process data in RPi4 with a timestamp and the ability to check if the same object was moved across the counter.
