Tianhan:

This week I continued to work on machine learning based method for hand detection. After comparison of several different methods, I have settled on using Tensorflow’s Object Detection API and the retraining method to solve the problem.As for the dataset, I decided to use the egohand dataset since it is most aligned to our requirement. I also decided to use Google Cloud’s computation power for my aid since the training process may be quite long. Currently, I am following this guide on how to retrain on pretrained COCO model for object detection:

I anticipate to start training our own model starting next week.
