This week I researched some edge detection algorithms that we can use to filter out our image, wrote out one in matlab and one short one in python, since I believe both are compatible with Django.\u00a0 The sobel edge detector returns a smooth but a more faded image while the Canny detector returns a sharp contrast image. I will test them out on test data very soon to compare them. Next week, I’ll go on to test out which feature engineering and\/or dimensionality reduction strategy to use so that we can move onto the neural network stage. Overall, I would say I made less progress on the project than I wanted to as I had a lot of assignments due and had to TA for ~20 hours for this particular week but hopefully next week, I’ll have some more time available.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
