Elizabeth’s Status Report for 4/1

Progress

I worked on creating test files to more systematically gather and test data for the User Extraction. My files can be found in test/distance_testing in the team respository. As said in the README, you run get_data.py to gather a data point, add your real data to measured_data.txt, and run test_data.py to calculate (x,y,z) values and calculate percent error. We also gathered one data point this week and for that point, our calculated (x, y, z) had (13.0%, 2.7%, 6.4%) error. The image of the data point can be seen using the display() function in test_data.py. In the future we will strive to gather more test points, and in more unique user positions. Dianne and I also spent some time prepping the Raspberry Pi, and the Pi is relatively set up and we have installed OpenCV and other things on it, but installing pyrealsense2 has proven to take longer than expected, as it cannot just be pip installed on the Pi, and must be compiled from source.

Schedule

We are roughly on schedule.

Next Steps

By the demo, I hope to finish at least some kind of integrated version of our product (where the motor system is connected to our software side). If this is not finishable before the demo, then at least by next week this is the goal. I also wish to test more.
