What did you personally accomplish this week on the project? Give files or photos that demonstrate your progress. Prove to the reader that you put sufficient effort into the project over the course of the week (12+ hours).
This past week, I worked with my group to refine our design review presentation slides. Some of the changes we made to my initial slides were about the testing and verification section. I initially had descriptions of the unit tests we would conduct and any additional information that would need to be stated would be conveyed verbally (I did this since we were given the suggestion last time to have less text). After discussion with my group, we opted to follow the format provided in the design review template which asked us to describe the inputs and outputs of our test and how it was relevant to the quantitative design requirements. Since this was quantitative it stood to reason that so should these test cases.
Additionally, during the the week I contributed to submit design review peer forms during scheduled class times.
Lastly, I researched what part to order for the phone mount that would attach to the laptop. I had to make sure the phone mount wouldn’t be magnetic since I didn’t like the idea of attaching a phone mount permanently to the laptop via an adhesive strip on both devices. I opted to go for a clamp option since it would leave no trace and it wouldn’t be attached when our product was not in use. Furthermore, I went to find a design on Amazon that had a 180 degree rotation so that the phone could swivel and point at a 45 degree downward towards the piano layout.
Is your progress on schedule or behind? If you are behind, what actions will be taken to catch up to the project schedule?
Our project is on schedule. We recently adjusted it to account for the change in project, but since by the end of this week we have mainly figured out which exact components we want to order most of what it left is then continuing on to work on our individual parts. For me, that is working on the CV component and I have already done so preliminary research into the functionality and example code for OpenCV so I can familiarize myself with it’s syntax. I took Computer Vision 16-385 and even though we did not use OpenCV, the fundamentals of what the built-in functions do were certainly taught and some of which we even implemented on our own.
What deliverables do you hope to complete in the next week?
By the end of the next week, I hope to have OpenCV package installed on my laptop and have done additional research on the application towards a piano layout. Also looking to research for some sort of preliminary basic code for objection detection for finger-tips.
