Category: Jamshed’s Status Reports

This week I spent a large amount of my time working on the design report with Jason and Meadow. I also designed an app using the iOS Bluetooth API to read IMU data from the ESP microcontroller. The app can be found in this github repo: https://github.com/jpanthaki/risevbt

My progress is up to date. The object tracking computer vision feature is still a work in progress; still trying to figure out how to get the UI to work the way I want it to.

I hope to create an initial representation of the data visualization UI with graphical representation of mock IMU data, that way I can begin to integrate it with the Bluetooth feature. I also hope to make more progress with the object tracking feature.

Spent much of Sunday and Monday morning preparing for my presentation. I then took some more time playing with the iOS SDK until I was comfortable with the syntax and the XCode IDE. Developed some initial UI for the video playback feature using the Photos and Vision API. I plan to integrate an object tracker provided by the Vision API into this UI.

Now that I’ve found a solution for the object tracking using the Vision API, it’s taken a lot of the load off of the Computer Vision portion of the project, which will hopefully expedite the pathway towards integrating with the hardware.

Next week, I hope to have V1 of the object tracker working. Currently, I plan to have the user draw a bounding box around the barbell plate in their side view, so I have something to iterate on if I decide to later use a model to detect the plate automatically. I also hope to integrate with the hardware and be able to read data over Bluetooth.

Worked on designing presentation and prepping Jason early week. Spent ample time researching software stack and evaluating tradeoffs for different implementations. Setup github page for application. Began to set up development environment and refreshed my skills with Django and React.

Progress is going according to schedule. Design iteration is still ongoing as I decide which software stack is feasible and/or applicable to our application.

Next week, I will have a more finalized iteration of the software design. I also will collaborate with Jason and Meadow on the overall design and complete and rehearse our design presentation slides.
