The most significant risk that could jeopardize are project is that we are not able to put together a strong user experience. We believe we have all of the parts working and relatively integrated, but we have very little experience creating a good UI. Our current plan is to create a website that lets the user record and download video. If we are unable to create a decent website, our contingency plan is to fall back on the HDMI to USB converter that we purchased. The user would then have to connect their personal laptop to the Jetson to see the output.
We are still having difficulty using signal processing techniques such as PDCW and SSF to separate speech, and are most likely moving forward with the deep learning approach. We are quite confident in the deep learning approach at this time. One risk associated with it is that it may take a very long time to run, potentially degrading the user experience. We are currently trying to work on speeding up the processing, but may have to settle for a much less responsive final product.
The only major change we have made to our system is that we are attempting to run a web server on the Jetson TX2 to provide a nice user interface. We wanted an interface that was both easy to implement and easy to use, and settled on a web server. There are no extra costs incurred by this change, and we have the time to work on it.
In our schedule, Charlie will now be working on the website for most of the remaining time. We have no other changes to our schedule.
Early progress on the website:
