What did you personally accomplish this week on the project?
I worked on the code for eye-tracking and gesture-recognition. I managed to build the C++ API for OpenPose and integrate it into our project, so we can use cameras to track facial keypoints and body keypoints (such as arms, hands). I have also started working on the software foundation for our project, creating the main render loop for our application.
Is your progress on schedule or behind? If you are behind, what actions will be taken to catch up to the project schedule?
I am a little behind. I will use some slack time over spring break to work on the gesture algorithm. Facial keypoint tracking + body tracking is essentially done, as it is provided with the C++ API.
What deliverables do you hope to complete in the next week?
(1) Get project running on the Jetson (as opposed to my laptop) to make sure everything works with the hardware. (2) Research gesture recognition algorithms using body keypoints, trying to find libraries that do this or come up with an algorithm of my own.
