This week, I worked on the following for our capstone project.
- Performed an interim demo for the background subtraction system which shall be used to detect people walking in and out of frame. Worked on and mentioned a foot traffic counter during the demo, which was incomplete and buggy, which I’ve worked on to fix and as of right now, it can be inaccurate at times, but doesn’t immediately crash like it was previously.
- Besides the demo and the counter, I drew a design that I’d like to discuss with my teammates during our meeting slot on Monday, although not time-consuming like the debugging for the counter, it is relevant as it could make a last-minute design improvement.
- Looked into web sockets to transfer data around, since we’d like to use our raspberry pi to run this script and transfer data to our local machine, so, familiarizing myself with the process felt necessary.
In terms of personal progress, I feel like I’ve finally caught back up to where I have wanted to be since the past 2 weeks, and have a good feeling for the project itself.
By next week, I’d like for our team to have made significant progress on the integration of our system, as well as have some physical structure for our system. To make that happen, I’d like to help manufacture the shelves if needed, and set up the camera based off the present/new design that we shall discuss on Monday.
