Demo Video
After a truly wild semester, we are proud to showcase our completed capstone project in its product demo video.
Claire’s Status Update 05/03
Schedule This week is the second to last week, and I have been working on the very last parts of the course – the report and the final presentation. Progress This Week This week was final presentations! Most of our time was spent on working on the final report because we were unsure of what the next steps for the video were going to be. But once the handout was released we got planning! Right now we’re writing up our…
Claire’s Status Update for 04/26
Schedule This week we were scheduled to work on the final presentation and report. It’s the final stretch and we want to make sure we finish our presentation strong! Progress This Week This week Maxine and I split up some sections of the final report as Arka continued working on the software side. I worked on the architecture and introduction. And once we all got together for our weekly meetings, our team worked on the final presentation. As I worked…
Arka’s Status Update for 04/19
This week, I worked mainly on edge detection and color extraction. Both approaches were changed from initial plan: Classic edge detection methods and built in open cv libraries were not providing proper performance regardless of how well the image was taken and preprocessed. Switched to an approach which detects color changes in a linear scan across resistor body. This method is working much better, though is dependent on quality of color classification Color classification was originally going to be performed…
Arka’s Status Update for 3/29
Past Week To Do: Embedded: Reset up Rpi Computer Vision: Work on edge detection to find color bands on each resistor Work Log: Embedded: Need to place order for the right cable to connect Rpi to my computer Computer Vision: Working on playing with different edge detection techniques to get best result at color band detection Next Week: Embedded: Set up Rpi and get back to the point pre-Corona Crisis Computer Vision: Figure out a decent edge detection technique that…
Arka’s Status Update for 03/22
Well, as we all know, this week has been crazy due to the outbreak of COVID-19 as a global pandemic. In order to do my part in preventing a worse spread of this disease, after returning from Spring Break, I spent most of my time preparing for a 2 week self-quarantine. After receiving guidance from the course staff as to how to move forward, we had multiple team discussions in which we rescoped the project to accommodate remote work with…
Arka’s Status Update for 02/29
Past Week To Do: Embedded: Set up ssh capabilities on Rpi Set up image capture pipeline on Rpi Test and time object detection code on Rpi Computer Vision: Begin working on resistor classification Take output of object detection Work on cropping and rotating each subimage Get to at least color space transformation in classification pipeline Work Log: Embedded: Set up ssh to rpi Set up camera connection to rpi Set up python script to display preview and prompt me to…
