- Integrated background subtraction code to the RPI (for people detection) and tested with motion (i.e. how much motion will we need to send a signal to the website since the motion detector is so sensitive? For example, we don’t want someone walking around in an aisle to trigger the object detection code multiple times when someone is still in the aisle.)
- Worked with Lucky to integrate our two systems together (i.e. he is turning his object detection program into a library for me to integrate to my web application to call on). He is still working on turning his code into a library. Once that is done, we will spend a day or so integrating.
- Researched ways to run a python script remotely (i.e. my computer to the RPI), ways to send data from the RPI to my computer, and more. This part was particularly painful this past week. What I’m trying to figure out is sending data from the RPI to the Flask server (through HTTP post requests), but I have been running into issues with having the RPI connect to the server (i.e. URL connection issues)
- Discussed what we are going to present for this upcoming week and how we plan to finish out these last two weeks.
I believe that we are on track since integration with the RPI is essentially all we have left in terms of the product. However, there are other deadlines too (i.e. poster, video, etc.) so we will try to finish integration as soon as possible.
During this upcoming week, I plan to do the following:
- Finalize integration with the web application and the raspberry pi
- Complete poster
