Look who's talking!
Last status report! This week we wrapped up all loose ends of our project and finished integrating it all! 🙂 We also worked on our final presentation slides, I prepared for the presentation since it was my turn this time. We think it went well. …
We basically finished all the independent parts of our project this week! I worked on a few things: Our classifier had a 95%+ accuracy on just identifying left vs right. However, I realized earlier this week that it would classify everything it saw as left …
This week I worked on many things – getting frames from the RPi camera video stream to pass to the gesture classifier, collecting more images (through crowdsourcing on social media which was a very interesting experience – we have a total of around 1200 real …
This week we spent time on the gesture classifier and animation for manual mode. We met multiple times to work remotely. I worked with Neeti on debugging, training and testing the gesture classifier with different online datasets. We discovered that the Kaggle dataset had a …
