Team Status Report for 4/29

Risk and Risk Management

The biggest risk to our project right now is not finishing the final document. Our mitigation plan is to start early.

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 and everyone is on schedule.

Comprehensive Testing

  • LAOE:
    • Testing the location of the LAOE projection onto the floor (16 total cases of measured distance and size of the projection in meters and compared it to the calculated distance and size of the projection)
    • Testing the intersection of the LAOE with the user (used various locations of a person either in the LAOE, on of the edges of the LAOE, and outside of the LAOE and checked whether the returned value matched)
    • Testing the necessary change calculated by the LAOE (measuring the distance from the chin that the LAOE ends at after the adjustment is made and whether or not the LAOE is past the chin or above)
  • User Position Extraction:
    • Testing the return value of the position (various images of a person’s face throughout the room and measuring the returned value against the actual position)
    • Testing the face detection limits (testing various distances until the program is unable to detect a face)
  • Motor System:
    • Timed the total time it takes for the blinds to move up/down completely
  •   Overall Tests:
    • Timed the feedback latency (time it takes for the blinds to determine a change and send it to the motor)
    • Tested the overall accuracy (the accuracy in relative error of the change made and whether or not a change was actually made)

Some changes made based on the findings were some more leniency for the LAOE intersection, fine tuning the user position detection, and changing the speeds of the motor.
