Cody’s Status Report for 10/5

This week, I gave our design presentation. I also helped Jolie setup the RPi and spent some time figuring out how to use the camera. Additionally, I began working with some of the Pytesseract functions, and I expect image_to_data to be particularly useful, as this returns (among other things) the location of the recognized letters. I’m still not completely sure how I’ll map the words onto the slots on the board, but feedback from the design presentation may provide some insight. The idea of color recognition was proposed, although I feel this could have some difficulties, since that might require onboarding an additional CV library, and the colored grids could be covered by tiles anyway.
