The implementation of our project has changed since the proposal presentation. After reading the feedback and discussing with the professors we realized that an FPGA was out of scope and also may take too much time to realistically do real time video processing. We have settled on using a NVIDIA Jetson TX2 instead. We also sat down and refined our solution for our use case. We have decided to use dynamic seat mapping, but only reflect an update in position if it moves > 1m. We discussed risk mitigation with seat tracking and occupancy by possibly using QR codes to uniquely identify chairs and whether they are occupied. We are in the process of redoing our task assignment and Gantt chart to allow for more time and earlier integration of all of our parts of the project.
