This week we spent most of our time building the actual platform, bug testing and making minor incremental improvements on the system.
Figure 1: Example of Fully-Constructed Platform
Alex: Built the platform and installed camera onto it. Readying Jetson for integration. Started work on nutritional information
Sam: Helped Alex with building of platform. Tested scanning + collected data on actual platform. Working on various normalization algorithms to improve illumination robustness.
Oliver: Conducted more extensive bug testing and fixed a number of bugs in the backend. Made expiry date calculations generate more robust and user-friendly output (i.e. granularity on a daily level instead of on a microsecond level).
We are currently on schedule but need to speed up the integration process to leave more time for testing.
Next week, we will work on integrating the full system, by testing it with the Jetson and installing on a real fridge door. We are also in the midst of training with our self collected dataset and will try that next week.
