Tianhan: This week I did a lot of benchmark on my trained hand detection model. I also trained another model using faster rcnn as backbone to compare the outcome. It turns out that the model trained with faster rcnn was actually too slow for our purpose (less than 1 fps), Read more…
Tianhan: This week I finished training our hand-detection model. I did some experiment and validation on it, and it seems pretty OK. Currently I am writing code to merge the detection model with the OpenCV part. I also looked more into how to launch a python webapp. It seems that Read more…
Tianhan: This week I continued to follow the online tutorial on transfer training with COCO models. I have fixed my training method using Google Cloud Platform. Hopefully I could finish the tutorial early next week, and train out our hand-detection model by the end of next week. Xinyu Zhao: This Read more…
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 Read more…
Team status update: This week’s progress was shorter because of spring break, and it’s slightly behind schedule Tianhan Hu: This week I kept on researching on machine learning based approach for hand-detection. I was a little bit behind schedule due to midterm last week and spring break. Will try Read more…
Tianhan Hu: This week, I continued working on hand gesture detection. Our current implementation on hand gesture detection relies on extracting contour of hand on its first step. To achieve that, we are using thresholding with fixed values. As pointed out by Professor Marios in the design review presentation, thresholding Read more…
Tianhan Hu: This week I continued to work on hand-button interaction detection part of our project. After going through some research papers, I found that it is really hard to distinguish whether a hand is held above the table or is pressing on the table. I discussed the issue with Read more…
Tianhan Hu: This week I spent most time self-learning OpenCV with Python3 since computer vision would be the core part of our project. I installed OpenCV in a virtual environment and walked through the following tutorial: https://www.pyimagesearch.com/2018/07/19/opencv-tutorial-a-guideto-learn-opencv/ After that, I walked through methods described in this page for tutorial in Read more…
