Team Status Report for 03/11/2023

As a team, the week was mostly spent on doing the design review report. We were still waiting on some hardware components to arrive so that we could finally start setting them up in public space.
We think the risks that could jeopardize the success of our project right now is that we need to figure out how to set up the camera in the public space and able to gather enough data for testing. The integration of the whole system will take a while and it’s crucial that we do this as soon as possible. We also need to test the CV algorithm on a real dataset to make sure that our demo in early April will go smoothly. We currently have plans to set up the camera at La Prima by the end of the week after classes when the space is empty and we can invite people we know who give us consent to be included in the video. Then, we can assure that our hardware side is set up and works properly and we can use this dataset to test the software side. Regardless of whether some of our parts will arrive by then for camera setup, we will also use phone camera to gather data to test software side.
All the final changes to the design and costs were mentioned in the previous status reports and in our final design review report. There are no further changes made as of now and it’s unlikely that there will be any.
As we’ve established a set of sub-systems necessary to implement our project, it’s necessary that our team learns how to use Replit. Each team member should prepare code and data files so that Replit can run each project component smoothly.
