Malcolm’s Status Report 12/6/20

This week contained a lot of progress with background subtraction, bounding box experimentation and general debugging. Much of the progress dealing with the background subtraction was in terms of the implementation. Using background subtraction itself and image thresholding gave different results. However since background subtraction just captures the edges of a profile, the resulting image will have a smaller space necessary to represent it. So this method is helping our NN grow. We have also now decided to use a dedicated space for the “bounding box” on our hand, since the spatial tracking of the hand proved near impossible. I made attempts at it by using structural similarity and color profile-based searching in the image but the results were less than ideal. Now I am working towards fully implementing our pieces of the project and debugging.
