What did you personally accomplish this week on the project?
- Completed prototype of server-side management application;
- The server is now capable of receiving Json formatted RESTful HTTP requests including: car-entering-entrance, car-entering-parking-spot, car-leaving-spot, car-leaving-parking-lot;
- Items required for navigation is completed;
- [TODO] Parking lot data import is currently being worked on;
- [TODO] Most of the code surrounding communication with RBPI is done. The exact formatting of the request will be tested next week;
- [TODO] OpenCV plate ambiguous matching is isolated and progress-blocked by XuKe’s OpenCV implementation;
- Worked with XuKe to setup Camera and Python environment for his RBPI; Worked on brainstorming solution to inaccuracies in OpenCV;
Please refer to the Github repository link for source code updates;
Is your progress on schedule or behind? If you are behind, what actions will be taken to catch up to the project schedule?
Progress is a little behind due to needing to help XuKe with his OpenCV implementation:
- Caused changes to the management software in anticipation for ambiguous plate information;
We are hoping to make progress on OpenCV as soon as possible to solidify design specs for the software. At this state, we are still not certain on the specs of our software interface due to not knowing:
- How long OpenCV will take to process;
- How accurate OpenCV will be able to recognize the plate information;
What deliverables do you hope to complete in the next week?
- More testing on the RESTful API with AWS servers;
- Parking lot data import is currently being worked on;
- Find out how to perform HTTP communication between Raspberry PI and AWS server;
- Connecting the sub-systems for demo;
