Accomplishments This Week
This week I was able to further improve on the OCR model and was able to test it out locally on some example expiration dates. It now detects various formats of dates, with a 80%+ accuracy. I also worked with Siyuan and Yuma to get the camera take pictures and send them to the OCR engine. I will work on making the interface and flow of the OCR more smoothly.
Project Schedule and Progress
Progress is being made, and OCR has been implemented. Now we need the camera to take the photos to extract the expiration dates and save them to the database.
Goals for the Next Week
My goal is to get the pipeline working for image acquisition and processing by this week, and with the OCR giving promising results I am confident that I will achieve by the deadline.
