Malcolm’s Status Update for 10/3/20

This week was spent both researching frameworks for neural networks and with getting familiar with the OpenCV library for python. We will be using OpenCV for pre-processing of our video data, since directly feeding video into our neural network would be much less efficient than using processed data. Mainly, I experimented with an attempt at edge detection in order to represent visual data in a more streamlined way. Our next steps at this point are centered around implementing OpenCV in a Django web-app to start working towards running our project from the tablets.
