The main breakthrough our team was able to make this week was getting the OpenPose running up on our camera. This was one of the biggest problem we were facing as a team as a major part of our project relies on the Camera and Jetson being able to recognize the torso of the person. We had set to test our plan B of using trt-pose by wiping the SD card image for the Jetson and purchasing a new compatible camera for the software. After our lab on Monday, Wonho was working on it in the evening and was able to run OpenPose on the Jetson with the original camera. (yay!).
This was a major obstacle setting our schedule back and delaying the software integration process for the other components. However, in the meantime our teammates have made some significant progress on other components of the project. Jeremy has been working on the app and completed the feature of allowing the user to upload images (i.e. photo of their clothes) through the app. Yun has also been able to make some progress with the weather API as well as ColorThief. Unfortunately Ramzi has been sick this week as well as catching Covid so he has not been able to participate as much.
The interim demo on Wednesday went well as we were able to show off key features of our project that were working. Right now our project is in a state of a lot of working parts but not integrated yet so our focus for the last two weeks will be on integration and creating a frame for our parts to fit into. Our team already has a plan in place for how each part should integrate with another and we have taken steps to make sure the software will be compatible throughout. Even though we are behind schedule, I would say we are technically “on schedule” since we should be able to catch up on the lost time by making more progress on the software components as well as the integration.
