Week 7 Status Report
Vayum:
This week I focused on the heat map development portion of the project. This part turned out to be more challenging than I expected both with the actual design of the heat map and changing what we have to dynamic data that is always moving. Originally, I had a status of the just static data. We originally moved from one side to another by putting in fake data, but there was no way to really create a dynamic heat map of a table with the actual floor plan according to online resources. After doing a bunch of research, I had to import a bunch of modules that made incorporating these modules very difficult.
Overall, I would say I am a little behind in terms of this and need to focus especially on accelerating the process. I dont want to spend too much time being stuck on this and I would say that after this I would need t move on to other parts of the project.
Ajay:
Last week I wrote a small characteristic matching function to look at the histograms. This was a more brute force approach as I wanted to see how useful a brute force simple algorithm would work. It did not work that well so I will implement the Bhattacharya distance metric this week. We also got our raspberry pi’s this week so we will port our camera code over to the PI to ensure it works with that.
Team report:
Overall our team is slightly behind as we just received our raspberry pi’s this week. This is accounted in for our slack and we will be able to catch up
