Kunal’s Status Update (11/6)

I wrote the I/O portion involving taking an avi file and deconstructing it into its native frames for running it through the neural network which is placed on the fpga. I have a lot of the source code up to date on our git repository but will need to test dependencies for the boost & opencv libraries. There may be versioning issues across the distributions. In any case, I will be taking a look at that tomorrow and throughout the week. We are close to being able to send frames to the fpga which will run the machine learning algorithm to do super-resolution of the image. The speed at which the frames transfer across the fpga will also be crucial and here I’m working on a circular buffer implementation that will be able to synchronize clock differences across the fpga unit and the speed at which the video is being sent over the usb channel. I am currently testing these mechanisms out.
