- This week my primary goal was working through and flushing out the calibration process, specifically making it more user friendly and putting pieces together. I first spent some time figuring out the best way to interact with the user. Initially I thought tkinter would be easy and feasible. My initial approach was to have a button the user would click when they want to take their initial calibration pictures. But after some initial research and coding and a lot of bugs I realized cv2 does not easily fit into tkinter. So instead I decided to work with just cv2 and take the picture for the user once their head is within a drawn ellipse. This will be easier for the user as they just have to position their face and this guarantees we get the picture and values we need. Once the calibration process is over I store the eye aspect ratio and mouth height into a text file. Adriana and I decided to do this to transfer the data from the calibration process to the main process so that the processes are independent from each other. Here is a screen recording of the progress.
2. Based on our schedule I am on track. I aimed to get the baseline calibration working correctly with simple user interface.
3. Next week I plan to start working on pose detection and possible code changes in order to be compatible with the board.
