Jananni’s Status Report for 05/08

  1. What did you personally accomplish this week on the project?  This week we focused on fine-tuning our project.  I focused on playing around with some thresholding variables so that our classification is slightly better.  But this was given one lighting condition so I need to test with different lighting conditions.  After this, we built the case for our device.  We used a Kleenex box and placed the Jetson board inside.  I cut out the cardboard so that it was usable positioned the camera such that it is not too intrusive for the driver.  Once we complete putting the device together, Evann and I tested the project to make sure everything was still working.  Meanwhile, we also started writing a script for our video including what shots we wants with which voiceover.  Evann and I also played around with the screen direction in order for the device to fit well in the car.  Once we completed this, we took our device out to the car to film clips for our video.
  2. Is your progress on schedule or behind?  We are currently on track with our schedule.
  3. What deliverables do you hope to complete in the next week?  Next week we should complete our Public Demo and work on our Final Report.

Evann’s Status Report 05/01

What did you personally accomplish this week on the project? Give files or photos that demonstrate your progress. Prove to the reader that you put sufficient effort into the project over the course of the week (12+ hours).

This week I integrated the UI onto the board. This required debugging as we had to figure out a way to speed up loading up the application as well as remove multiple instances of the video capture application.  I worked through some issues with the sound output (no nonblocking function call support) and accelerometer input (inconsistent input). I also continued work on pose detection identifying landmarks we want to use. We’ll be using geometric ratios to compute pose. Additionally I captured more videos to test our application and performed the analysis on them. Finally, I spent some time working on the Final Presentation slides and preparing for the presentation.

Is your progress on schedule or behind? If you are behind, what actions will be taken to catch up to the project schedule?

Our progress on the board is on schedule. We’ve completed all of our major goals and are finishing up stretch goals.

What deliverables do you hope to complete in the next week?

We are planning to capture some videos our of system working in a car next week for our final video. I want to finish the pose detection next week as well.
