My progress for this week comprises presenting our initial idea of “Attacking STOP signs with OpenCV and ML adversary model” with group C5, meeting with Professor Kim multiple times to discuss and finalize the direction and scope of the project, meeting with the team multiple times to brainstorm new project ideas, and taking part in writing and revising the abstract and proposal presentation;
I and our team is behind schedule due to the recent and complete change of our project, which necessitated a lot of discussions between teammates and with faculty, rewriting the abstract and proposal slides, and reworking the schedule; I and my team are already working very long hours (way exceed 12 hours) to try to catch up with the schedule again;
I am hoping to complete the new project schedule, design details of the “automated parking guidance” systems, and a list of needed items in the next week.
The timeline of events include:
- Presented our initial proposal of “Attacking STOP signs with OpenCV and ML adversary model” with group C5;
- Proposal refused by Professor Kim and Tamal due to ambiguities in idea and execution;
- Tried to come up with revisions to the “Attacking STOP signs with OpenCV and ML adversary model” with Ke and Grace, with no progress made in several hours;
- Discussed with teammates and tried to come up with a more adequately defined and scoped new proposal — “Smart Parking System with Monitoring and Metering”;
- Wrote new abstract and presentation slides for the new proposal;
- Presented idea to Professor Kim again;
- Took advice from Professor and revised proposal to include new features (“automated parking guidance”);
- Presented idea to Professor Kim again;
- Proposal approved;
- Started to work on design details and implementations of the proposal;
