Accomplishments This Week
This week I finished the camera pipeline and worked with the new expiration date database in order to achieve the 90% accuracy model. A new camera was ordered that would possibly get better results, as we figured a more close range, autofocus camera would be fit. The integration of the camera will not take any more time, as the code has already been written. Importantly, I have totally revamped the OCR model which was a lot of work but would guaranteed better results if completed.
Project Schedule and Progress
Our schedule has been revised in order to keep up with all of the updates of the project. This includes my expiration date algorithm, which took quite more time than anticipated due to the lack of available datasets in the web and infrastructure.
Goals for the Next Week
I am hoping that I will be able to train the model with the given dataset before the Interim Demo, and showcase the handmade expiration date OCR model. After that, I will move on from the model itself, and work with Yuma and Siyuan on integrating the camera module with the rest of the module.
