I am leading the hardware component of our project. Since last week, our hardware implementation has changed. After discussion with the professors, they thought it would be out of scope to implement the project with a tool I’m unfamiliar with. I spent many hours this week researching alternatives and settled on using the NVIDIA Jetson TX2. I additionally decided on the cameras we will be using for the project after researching various communication protocols that the Jetson supports. Additionally, I helped out on making and revising the slide deck before our proposal presentation. The progress is on schedule but the schedule needs to be revised as we are using a GPU instead of an FPGA. By next week, I hope to have reserved and received they necessary hardware components and be able to capture a live video stream and display it.
