This week I have been working on a simplified version of our final ML classifier in order to start performing preliminary speed and efficiency tests for the CNN. Our group is still bouncing around a few options in terms of where we are going to host the CNN, whether its on a Pi, Jetson, or externally. Since we are still deciding, this has put some extra stress on my portion of the project to produce some testing results, so although I was originally on track, I am a little behind due to the decision our team has made to explore potentially different implementations of our system. However, I am now much more accustomed to InceptionV4 and Tensor-flow, and have a better understanding of the transfer layers I will be implementing, but have focused on creating a classifier without extensive transfer layers in order to start platform testing.
