This week, I mainly worked on the computer vision (CV) side of PotSpot. I spent time retraining the model on better quality data to improve our detection accuracy. Unfortunately, due to family concerns, I was unable to complete testing this week. In the next week, I hope to finish CV testing and run benchmarks on our test data to verify our model’s performance. This is on schedule with our proposal.
In terms of testing, I plan to benchmark our CV model using our collected test data to verify detection accuracy and severity classification. Once our full pipeline is robust enough, I want to validate that what our model detects in the field matches real-world conditions, and cross reference our detections with manual in-person comparisons.
