This week, I worked on the following tasks:
- Built a second counter program that instead of telling us how much traffic is in and out of a section, gives us information about how many people are present in the aisle.
- Tested the implementation for various distances, varied number of people, and also checked for false positives.
In terms of schedule, from a preliminary standpoint, things are looking like they should be okay, the background subtraction and detection integration is underway, and provided things don’t catastrophically fall apart, we should be okay prior to the final demo. However, there’s also the risk of creating code that might not work with the other subsystems, and for counters, the integration hasn’t yet been tried mainly due to lack of speed in creating the subsystem on my part, but now that is done, hopefully, we can integrate that in as well.
For next week, I hope to have completed the following tasks.
- Integrate both counters for different shelf and camera setups and make a decision on which counter is more accurate and has lesser latency.
- Work on the final presentation slides prior to the presentations in the coming week.
