Tony’s Status Report for 4/18

Progress

I can’t get enough accuracy using only spacial-based approaches, so I will try training an LSTM on the data we collected.

Deliverables

By next week we should have the project finished and the presentation done. Chris will integrate our classifiers together and Mark will work on outputting into Ableton.

Schedule

This last week will be rushed, but we will be done with everything soon, so we will be done with the schedule.

Tony’s Status Report for 4/4 and 4/11

Progress

I made a functional program that outputs the distance between the wrist keypoints for the demo. I also worked on the ethics assignment and am now trying to refine the accuracy for my algorithms.

Deliverables

By next week, I want to improve the accuracy of my algorithms and start integrating thing with Chris.

Schedule

I am still behind schedule since my classifiers need a lot of improvement in accuracy and there is still integration to do.

Mark’s status report 3/28

Progress

This week I began the building of the glove for my project.  I soldered the buttons to the wires and connected them to the Rpi and worked on the Bluetooth connection to my laptop.

Plan for demo next week

My plan for the demo is to have a working glove that plays different tones when each button is pressed, but not integrated with Ableton live yet.

Schedule

I am on track and got my plan for the demo approved by professor and TA.

Tony’s Status Report for 3/28

Progress

I’m waiting on processing the data we took with openpose, which takes a while on my laptop. Chris said he would use the Xavier to do this, which should be faster.

Deliverables for next week

By next week I want to have all the data processed so Chris and I can test our algorithms on it.

Progress

I am still behind schedule, but catching up slowly.

Updated Gantt Chart and risk management plan

Since Mark has been able to order his glove components and a soldering kit to assemble them, and Chris and I can work on the algorithm remotely, the risks remain the same as in the design document. We anticipate no further problems around fabrication or shipping of parts.

Mark’s status update for 3/21

Progress

I have been been quite limited in my ability to build the glove due to the circumstances, and have created a personal statement of work, which is attached. as SOW.

Schedule

I am running behind and working to catch up, but ordering lab materials on may take longer than normal since many suppliers are shut down.

Tony’s Status Report for 3/21

Progress

I’ve begun working on a classifier for the hit gesture by setting thresholds at the angle at the elbow. Other than that, I have not made much progress since we have had to transition to remote work and rescope our project.

Deliverables for next week

By next week, I want to have working algorithms for stomp and hit that can achieve reasonable accuracy on our training samples.

Schedule

I am slowly getting back onto schedule, since I am making progress on the classification algorithms.

Chris’ Status Report 3/21

Progress Made

Over Spring break, I did not do any work on the project. After returning to Pittsburgh, most of my time was spent on trying to get my life in order so not too much time was spent on the project, other than organizing the data that we collected before break.

Work for this week

I hope to be able to get the LSTM classifier working with reasonable accuracy on the Xavier board by the end of the week. I will work with OpenCV to do hand detection then running the classifier on the images of the hands for these gestures.

Schedule

Currently, I am behind on my schedule by about two weeks. This hopefully will be made up by the fact that I am spending most of my time at home and also that we have a decent amount of slack built into our schedule.

Plan moving forward

I have uploaded my 1 pager explaining what I plan on working on for the rest of the semester.

Team Status Report 3/21

Progress

We have collected all of the data that we should need for the training and classification of both music creation gestures as well as editing gestures. We collected about 50 samples of each gesture, with multiple people performing these gestures.

Work for this week

We will be working during class time on each of our sections with a Zoom meeting going as our “face to face” time. As travel plans to return are uncertain for Chris as well as Mark currently, we will try to do as much as we can in Pittsburgh. Chris will hand off the Xavier Board to Tony soon.

Chris and Tony will work on their respective classifiers and try to get them to work on the Xavier board hopefully by the week’s end with reasonable accuracy.

Mark will continue to be working on the glove and on the Raspberry Pi.

Schedule

We are still behind schedule trying to figure out how to coordinate our work as well as needing to work on building the classification for the gestures. We still have a decent amount of slack for the rest of the semester (hopefully integration will not take too long) that we could use to make up for the lost time. However, it will be difficult to work as quickly as when we are all together so we may be losing a bit of time there as well.
