Our group worked on two main things this week: narrowing the scope of our project and spending some time research various technology.
Narrowing our Scope
We first worked on narrowing down the scope of our project. For our MVP, we are focusing on preventing drivers from falling asleep or from getting distracted.
Research
In terms of hardware components, we compared the tradeoffs of various boards and we have decide on the Jetson Xavier board. In terms of software components, we have done preliminary research on various face-tracking and eye-tracking algorithms that work with the hardware. We also began some basic testing on some open source codebases to test for accuracy. We plan to spend some more time looking into the specific OS to put on our Xavier board and to narrow done the extra hardware such as the camera and screen.
