- Finalized the mechanical design for the conveyer belt system (currently have rack and pinion as a contingency plan).
- Extracted color ranges from hsv space for certain images (experimented on a picture of a banana).
- Ordered the Nvidia Jetson Nano 2GB and the Raspi camera module V2. Started experimenting with them. Next step is to write a program to take a picture and save it on disk.
- Worked on the design presentation. Finalized some design points (apart from mechanical) that were previously unanswered.
- Performed risk analysis and risk mitigation. In particular, if we can’t assemble the conveyer belt ourselves, we will use the treadmills in the CUC gym to simulate the process.
- Started looking into algorithms for extracting features (e.g localized black spots in a banana) from the segmented images.
