Look who's talking!
Last week! This week Gauri worked on improving the conditions under which the classifier will work well by training the classifier on images with heads behind the hand gestures. However, this proved to reduce the overall accuracy of the classifier and did not provide the …
This week we finished all of the independent part of our projects, tested it, and worked on getting everything working to the requirements we had set for ourselves (like accuracy for the classifier, sound, …). Our classifier was working at 95% accuracy for the 2 …
This week we all continued to work on the areas of the project we began working on last week! I worked on collecting, labeling and organizing real images for the classifier. I tweaked some parameters for the classifier and ran it many times with different …
This week was productive – as usual, everything took longer than expected, but we have been making significant progress. Neeti and Gauri spent a lot of time this week on our gesture classifier. We realized that it’s more difficult to recognize gestures with the same …
This week we made a lot of progress on our manual mode – hopefully enough to have it semi-working by demo Wednesday! Neeti has been working on the neural net classifier for the hand gesture (thumbs up and thumbs down). She realized earlier this week …
This week we began implementing based on our restructured plan. Neeti is working on the gesture classifier, Shrutika is working on modelling the physical platform animation with Simulink and Gauri is working on the control loop. We also ordered and received the mics. So we …
We had our first zoom meeting on Monday (03/16)! We used the 10:30-12:30 lab time to begin to think about how we would transition our project to accommodate the remote nature of the class. We discussed which parts of the project we could keep the …
The week before spring break some of parts arrived! Our motors as well as the cameras, arrived. We also figured out details for our audio input and solidified plans. Making this post now, our project and plans seem so distant. It’s difficult to figure out …
We spent a lot of time the week before break finalizing the design review report, which I think was really useful to force us to think about every decision we were making – and also got us to decide on parts for real and order …
This week we ordered all our parts that we finalized in the design review except for the microphones. We checked in with the front desk to see if the parts had arrived but they have not been approved yet, so we are waiting on them! …
