Team Status Report for 02/25/2023

The camera we decided on previously – the Sainsmart IMX219 – is not a USB camera as we had indicated previously, as has been pointed out in the feedback. However, as it is compatible with the Jetson Nano board in which our image processing algorithm will be housed, that regrettable error has been mitigated. There is also the concern that it will be difficult to keep the Margin of Error in wait time to 1-2 minutes because of a cascading effect of having about 10-30 seconds of margin of error for each individual user. So we plan on conducting an informal survey, asking individuals in La Prima if they would like to share their order and observing how long it takes for that order to be prepared, so we can use this data in our linear regression algorithm.

Our Block Diagram has also been updated as we are no longer using MongoDB Atlas and are instead using SQLite as we will be storing data on the boundary boxes and don’t need to store live video data. This change was necessary as the privacy of our users in this age of constant surveillance is important to us.
