This week, I did the following:
- Project Proposal refinement and Scoping
- Worked with the Team as well as Dr. Sullivan and Rashmi to continue to narrow the scope of our MVP, starting from a short list of possible features to deciding on telling the user when to cross at a specific “ElMo” type intersection
- Literature Review / Data Collection
- Helped identify traffic datasets for CV
- API with Google Street View for images of specific intersection
- Microsoft et. al. COCO dataset with tagged photos of traffic lights
- Helped identify traffic datasets for CV
- Prep work for circuitry assembly
- Selection of speaker for user interface
Perceived Team Progress:
On Track 🙂
Deliverables next week:
- Data Collection
- Collect pictures of “ElMo” intersections (incl. Ellsworth/Morewood, Ellsworth/Amberson, Fifth/Amberson) at various angles/vantage points, lighting conditions, weather conditions
- Tagging the traffic lights in said photos
- Project Requirements
- Finalize, through literature review and similar past projects, the quantitative benchmarks that are required by the user (i.e. data rate, power consumption, accuracy)
- Device Components
- Finalize parts list with team and order
