Additionally, when researching about databases and Flask, we decided to use a library called SQLAlchemy that assists us in writing high-level (python) SQL code. We also discussed adding the process of gray-scaling images to reduce computation power and increase speed. When needed, (i.e. fruits and vegetables since some are similar in size and color) we will use color detection.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An overview of what we did: Received feedback from our Professor\/TA during our weekly meetings on Monday, took notes from the meeting, and discussed as a team afterwards Researched deeper into various object detection algorithms (i.e. SIFT, SURF, BRISK, and more) Determined a list of grocery items to test with and why we chose them &hellip; <\/p>\n<p class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"http:\/\/course.ece.cmu.edu\/~ece500\/projects\/s22-teamb0\/2022\/02\/20\/team-status-report-for-2-19-22\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;Team Status Report for February 19, 2022&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":560,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[4],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/course.ece.cmu.edu\/~ece500\/projects\/s22-teamb0\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/83"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/course.ece.cmu.edu\/~ece500\/projects\/s22-teamb0\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/course.ece.cmu.edu\/~ece500\/projects\/s22-teamb0\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/course.ece.cmu.edu\/~ece500\/projects\/s22-teamb0\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/560"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/course.ece.cmu.edu\/~ece500\/projects\/s22-teamb0\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=83"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"http:\/\/course.ece.cmu.edu\/~ece500\/projects\/s22-teamb0\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/83\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":92,"href":"http:\/\/course.ece.cmu.edu\/~ece500\/projects\/s22-teamb0\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/83\/revisions\/92"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/course.ece.cmu.edu\/~ece500\/projects\/s22-teamb0\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=83"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/course.ece.cmu.edu\/~ece500\/projects\/s22-teamb0\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=83"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/course.ece.cmu.edu\/~ece500\/projects\/s22-teamb0\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=83"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
