- During this week, I was only able to be integrated into the team on Wednesday (9/27), so I spent Wednesday discussing how to integrate me into the team with everyone else and reworking the labor division between the team. I also did research on my teams options for file storage and decided we would go with a simple directory system and use JSON files to store the user’s pose coordinates and reference pose coordinates, for ease of interfacing with Openpose, as it already uses a JSON format in its API’s. I also looked into running Openpose on my local machine, and I found out that I would have to run Openpose on my CPU as opposed to my graphics card as my graphics card unfortunately does not support CUDA. Additionally, I also made an official system diagram for our presentation and contributed to the design presentation slides.
2. I believe that our progress on the project is on schedule, as I am in a good position to finish the design presentation slides today and then move forward with running Openpose and getting into the meat of the project.
3. Next week, I plan to get Openpose up and running on my computer. I also plan on helping to write the design report and coordinating with Ray about some of the specifics of the UI design so user’s can easily upload and access custom image sequences for their own training purposes.
4. Using JSON files and working with API’s is something I learned over the summer at my internship, and our idea of breaking our project into modules for ease of organization and implementation is something that was heavily emphasized to me in Structure and Design of Digital Systems (18-240).
