Accomplishments:
This week, I worked mainly on our Design Review presentation. I worked on the Use Case Requirements, Technical Challenges, and Implementation Plan. Specifically, I researched more into the differences between using CV for obstacles vs creating a simple algorithm utilizing the depth and distance detection of the L515 LiDAR Camera for object classification and added this differentiation to our presentation. Additionally, I created the Top Level Design flow chart and the diagram for the cane. I am additionally preparing to present our slides on Monday. I also researched the main libraries I will be using to implement the object detection and to gather the distance information needed, specifically the libraries OpenCV, TensorFlow object detection API, RealsenseCamera, and pyRealSense2.
Progress:
Our project is on schedule. We are meeting on Sunday to start initialization.
Future Deliverables:
I will present this week, then we will be working on the written report for the Design Review. Additionally, we should have our Jetson Nano initialized by the end of the week and possibly pseudocode for the CV.
