Accomplished:
This week, I worked on the proposal presentation. I focused on Testing, Verification, Metrics, and Key Technical Challenges and Mitigations. Additionally, I gave the presentation on Wednesday, so my focus was on understanding what everyone was writing and memorizing the slides. Additionally, I submitted our first purchase request for the GPS device we will be using for our project. I looked into PDR a bit based on what others have done and how they have implemented it in MATLAB as a base for how I will have to do and and I have thinking about what I will want to change and update so that we can have more precise location detection.
Progress / Schedule:
My progress is on schedule because we set the schedule recently and included a brief break at the beginning. Based on the schedule in this week I need to learn about PDR and how to implement it on a Breadboard and Matlab, however without knowing how to do it on Matlab first ill struggle to do it on a breadboard so it seems like I am behind schedule because I need to understand PDR and how it all works and implement it this week so that I can easily implement it on a breadboard next week.
Deliverables / Next Steps:
Next Week, I will:
- Research the different ways to implement PDR Algorithms
- Learn how to utilize the Kalman filter and other filters for PDR
- Implement and test PDR methods in MATLAB to figure out which method might be the most reliable
