Heidi’s Status Report for 5/8

This past week we had our final presentation. Afterwards I spent time debugging our script and a permission error on the Jetson with Vaheeshta. We wanted to have our python script run on boot, however, since we were accessing camera, audio, and writing files we had some sudo permission errors. After switching to a usb webcam Vaheeshta and I were able to get the on boot script to work. The issue was in the folder we had our script. We checked that it worked with the Raspberry Pi camera module as well. Additionally, we improved our frames per second from about 8 fps to 15 fps. This was accomplished by decreasing the size of the cv2 window the Jetson was seeing. However, if the frame was under a width of 300, the face was too small for detection so our adjustments for videos and testing was to make sure the frame width was over 300. While Vaheeshta and Danielle focused on the final video editing, I finished the poster for the public demo next week.

Progress is on schedule. We have completed our MVP so we just have to focus on the final deliverables.

This next week, I will be working with my team to finish up the video which we will present at our public demo and will work on the final report.
