What did you personally accomplish this week on the project?
This week I contributed to our project proposal and the corresponding
slides. I also reached out to some nature photographers to learn more about
their processes in photographing animals and some of the challenges they meet.
We also spent some time researching different kinds of cameras that may be
compatible with the Jetson Nano and would adequately meet our needs. Lastly, I reviewed some of my previous projects in recognition in preparation for the detection systems we will implement for this project.
Is your progress on schedule or behind?
I would have liked to have made some solid progress on the actual code, as well as some more research on OpenCV’s libraries to ascertain which, if any, may be of use to us so that we don’t have to waste time making something that’s already openly available.
What deliverables do you hope to complete in the next week?
In the next week, I hope to have some deliverable code in animal detection that utilizes an animal image database, as well as a more concrete log of responses nature photographers who have agreed to help us with their insight and experiences.
