Team Status Report for 2/20

Changes to the System:
  • We decided to change our product into a headband, which can be worn by the user, since that way the cameras will be positioned optimally. Also since a headband has the full circumference, we can easily place the processor in the back too.
  • While we do have datasets of traffic lights to train on, we decided to go with real live pictures of the Morewood/Elsworth Intersection (“ElMo”) as our main form
Current Risks and Mitigation: 
  • Making sure that the Raspberry Pi can stay powered portably for a lengthy duration and that it doesn’t get too heated. Since this is going on the user’s head, it’s important to develop some sort of barrier between the system and their head, such as padding.
  • Our current design definitely might need to be updated once the parts come in. While we have estimated as closely as possible with the sizes of the various parts online, it might be a different picture putting them together
