This week I ported my code into AWS. The biggest issue I faced was something I didn’t even expect would be an issue but when I tried to reserve a p2.xlarge instance on aws I was instantly blocked. To resolve this, i had to contact AWS support and get the instance limit to be removed for my account. After that, we were able to test our system on AWS and immediately we saw insane gains from the GPU’s. On a 6th generation i5 processor, it took around 25 seconds to do object detection using the YOLO method. With the Tesla k80, it took .15 seconds. Currently, our bottleneck is in the method we have with storing photos as it takes around 2 seconds to upload the photo to the s3 bucket. If we figure out another way of storing these photos we might approach that but I think at this point this is our best approach. I also wrote the histogram function and sketched out the function for calculating average wait time. For the average wait time, it revolves around using the total wait time so far and averaging in the next value. This week I want to work on the matching functionality. I thought we would get to it this week but the AWS setup ended up taking longer than expected.

I finished the home page dashboard, the layout for the additional page after that and connected the web service. We also sketched up the API for how this will interact with everything else, including the YOLO detection system and the hardware sensors. Currently, I still have to write the algorithms and get more data in our database, with actual data connected from our PIs and our sensors. We also ordered parts so are we basically ready to put everything together. I would say we are on track.
Team Report
In terms of team status we are a little bit behind since the AWS setup took so much time. I think that we can recover the time although because now that we are set up on AWS, testing the system can happen in much faster time. Other than that our diagram for connecting our individual parts has been sketched out and the internetworks has been designed. We need to build it this week and test it.
