This week was mostly focused on getting prepared for integration of my CV component into the larger system as a whole. Here are some of the tasks we completed this week:
- Spent some more time doing a randomized grid search to determine the best hyperparameters for our model.
- Made the model slightly better up to 70% accuracy which was our goal; however, it doesn’t translate super well to real-time facial recognition.
- Might need to work on some calibration or use a different dataset
- Conducted research on the capabilities of the Jetson we chose and how to load our model onto that Jetson so that it would properly utilize the GPU’s
- I have a pretty good idea of how this is done and will work on it this week once we are done configuring the SSH on the Jetson.
I am on schedule and ready to continue working on system integration this upcoming week!
Goals for next week:
- Start testing my model using a different dataset which closer mimics the resolution we can get from our webcam.
- If this isn’t promising, we might advice adding some calibration to each individual person’s face.
- Download the model to the Jetson and use the webcam / Jetson to run the model instead of my computer
- This will fulfill my portion of the system integration
- I would like to transmit the outfit from my model to Mason’s website in order to ensure that we are getting reasonable metrics.
