What did you personally accomplish this week on the project?
Once I started writing the final report and began looking more into my implementations, I realized that I didn’t implement the right Reed-Solomon version; instead, I implemented a combination of viterbi + rs which is why the accuracy was so high for errors less than <10%. So, I re-did the reed solomon implementation that more accurately reflects the actual implementation. Additionally, I implemented BCH, another algorithm that detects errors within certain packet sizes. Moreover, we met a couple times as a group to make sure everyone understood the GUI, how to integrate their portions, and how to go about de-bugging our issues.
I also worked on our final presentation earlier this week.
Is your progress on schedule or behind? If you are behind, what actions will be taken to catch up to the project schedule?
I feel that we are slightly behind; the actual product is almost finished, but I’m worried that we are a bit behind on our video. Additionally, I’m a bit rusty on C, so that was a little hurdle I overcame today.
To catch up, I plan on spending all day tomorrow creating the script and video that’s due Monday. Moreover, now that I’ve overcame that hurdle, I feel that it should be smooth sailing from here.
What deliverables do you hope to complete in the next week?
I hope to (in order of priority):
- Clean up RS
- Maybe implement a nuanced version of RS
- Finish the video
- Final Report
