Sirisha’s Status Report for 04/29/23

I spent the beginning of the week working on the final presentation slides and practicing the presentation since it was my turn to present.  I also worked on debugging the issue with setting up the Jetson in the car due to the personal hotspot not wanting to connect, and Elinora and I were able to fix this issue.  I also helped Yasser with getting the code to properly run on the Jetson, but it was taking much longer than predicted due to the libraries we needed to download and the lack of storage.  The most recent update with this is that we will need to get an SD card with more storage if we want to be able to run the code on the Jetson.  I also worked on the website and updated it for the demo.  Since all of the final assignment are due soon, I started to work on the final poster as well.

We are a little behind at the moment because we had another setback due to the discovery that we didn’t have enough storage for all of our code.  It was unfortunate that we had to find this out so late, especially because we started to remedy this by deleting unneccesary files and folders from the Jetson and it would tell us there was enough storage, but once we installed the libraries one at a time, we would see that there still wasn’t enough storage.

We have an SD card for the storage now and are going to work on this during the week.  We also want to make the switch from cnn-facial-landmarks to DLib to improve the accuracy for testing in non ideal conditions.  We will first make this change for the features that currently work so we can see if any changes in their accuracies is worth making the change for head pose estimation, or if we should eliminate head pose estimation.  We are also going to continue working on the poster and start the final report, video, and setup for the demo.
