An overview of what we did:
- Allen and Lucky finalized the portions of their subcomponent projects
- Tak, Allen, and Lucky are in the process of shifting to integration
- Portiung Tak’s motion detection to the raspberry pi and camera module
- Setting Lucky’s subcomponent with a laptop and webcam
- Setting up the demo shelf
In terms of what we will do this upcoming week, we hope to do the following:
- Set up the demo shelf parameters
- Get the camera setups finalized (i.e. how far away, how high, what angles, etc.)
- Live testing of subcomponents
- Progress to integration and interconnectivity
The most significant risks that we know of thus far are:
- Porting subcomponents to raspberry pi
- We have already come to face difficulty in getting the motion detection onto a raspberry pi and figuring out communication
- With delays and what not in getting the second raspberry pi, we may be forced to simply use a laptop and webcam for the object detection component and only one of the raspberry pi’s and camera’s for the motion detection
- Latency i.e. meeting user requirements
- After implementing the sliding window technique, we realized the algorithm could potentially take longer than intended, and may face difficulty in meeting the latency standards we set during the abstract and proposal time
- Communication and storage in the integrated system
Changes To our schedule
- We don’t’ have any significant changes to our schedule
- If things continue to trend as planned we should be okay with some leeway for troubleshooting
