During this week our group finished up the last bits of testing on the whole system and I spent time getting the web server to work. We also started working on the final presentation poster. We increased the testing that we’ve done by increasing our footage count for 20 total clips to 36 total clips. While yes, we would have liked to test on more data, it was surprisingly difficult to find more and more data. It is very easy to find traffic camera footage but finding traffic camera footage with car accidents is more of an oddity as those events are less common. Additionally, as we mentioned in the beginning of the project, many traffic cameras do not record video as they are not “smart” enough to detect crashes thus a reason for the project to exist in the first place!
Additionally, I’ve worked on adding more “presentable” graphics for the final presentation and the tech spark showcase. This included adding metrics to the bounding boxes so viewers can see what is happening, increasing the size of metrics that we use such as directional arrows (increase size of arrows) and adding other metrics in text form.
We are all very excited to showcase everything that we’ve done this past semester and also very grateful for professor Kim’s guidance and our entrance into the techspark showcase!
