This week I made progress on my portion of the project. I needed to figure out how to do real time finger tracking. I found a method that was used and this will be my starting point. I worked this week with the team on the design presentation and began to think about how I will be presenting on Monday.
Team Status Report for 3/6/2021
For this week, our team changed from using Python on dataflow and our ML implementations to using C++ in favor of faster performance, even though the code itself may be a bit more difficult. We also completed the slides for the upcoming Design Review presentation. Due to the change in language and some other minor shifts in our application, we changed around the Gantt chart a bit. Each of the team members made progress in their own portions of the project as outlined in the individual status reports.
Jenny’s Status Report for 3/6/2021
For this week, I discussed with my team and we made the decision to switch to C++ as our language of choice instead of Python due to efficiency of performance. I also helped with creating the design review presentation slides due on Sunday and created a basic logo for us. I also decided upon the two models that I will be testing using (CNN and SVMs) to see which better fits our purpose for gesture detection. I also began trying to implement background subtraction in our C++ repo. Finally, I also wrote our team status report.
