Risk and Risk Management
The major risk is finding ways to improve our system’s accuracy. Our LAOE’s accuracy and User Position Extraction’s accuracy is alright at closer distances, but at further distances and at specific edge cases (the edges of projection of light; extreme angles in relation to the camera), our system is not super accurate. We will try to think of ways to make our calculations more accurate, but we are also limited by the accuracy of things like OpenCV, the LIDAR data, etc.
Although not exactly a risk, but we are in general also trying to come up with ways to improve the user experience, in response to our interim demo. Our motor moves slightly faster than it did before (but there is a limit as to how fast it can move, since the motor is small, to make the system smaller and less invasive). We have also improved our LAOE algorithm to have more false positives, to be on the safe side to ensure light does not hit the user’s face. We will continue thinking about improving the user experience moving forward, but it’s hard to come up with ideas.
System Design Changes
As of now there hasn’t been a change to the existing design of the system.
Schedule
The schedule has not changed yet, and everyone is roughly on track for the time being, though the software portion is slightly behind with getting the Raspberry Pi on board.
