One significant risk that could jeopardize our project is calibration of our landmark detection. From the feedback we received on our design presentation, there was a question on would we need to calibrate our EAR algorithm and if we needed to calibrate every time the user turned on the system. To mitigate this, we will dedicate time this week when beginning to set up how we will take our picture for the data set to make sure that our design works with images we are getting.
From the design presentation and the positive feedback we received the design of the system has remained the same. We have been asked to color code like we did on the software block diagram what will be off the shelf and what we will be making ourselves. The switch to an audio output was well received so we will order a USB speaker to attach to the Xavier. Because of our daylight scope of our project, we had planned to take pictures in different lighting conditions but from the recommendation of the professor with the time constraint of the class our scope will change to daytime with good lighting conditions. This does not change our system design but will simplify creating our dataset.
No changes were made to our schedule this week.
We are on schedule. We will be focusing on the design report this week. The primary hardware, the Jetson Xavier arrived so we will be working towards creating our training data set and will build upon the working examples we have from last week.
