Siyuan’s Status Report for 4/6

Accomplishments This Week

This week, I focused on testing of newly arrived temperature and humidity sensor. The key accomplishments include:

Testing of Temperature and Humidity Sensor: Upon receiving the temperature and humidity sensors, I conducted comprehensive testing to assess their functionality with the Raspberry Pi. These tests were designed to ensure that the sensors operate accurately and reliably under various conditions, providing the data essential for our system’s environmental monitoring capabilities.

Project Schedule and Progress

I am on schedule, and my progress is still good.

 

Goals for the Next Week

Next week, I will complete the development of the software required to manage data requests from the temperature and humidity sensors. With the software development completed, the next step will be to integrate the temperature and humidity sensors into the scanner module.

Jason’s Status Report for 4/6

Accomplishments This Week

This week I started integrating the OCR model, camera function, and pipeline to the rest of the modules. This took tweaking some of the code to properly function as intended. Also, the new camera arrived with the specs that we wanted and has been tested to be better than all of our previous cameras.

Project Schedule and Progress
We will follow our revised schedule which will keep us busy for the next few weeks, but manageable at the same time. I will talk about plans about verification in the next step.

Verification

For my individual verification, I have divided into 3 parts. 1 is to verify that my pipeline is sending and receiving all of the components to the central module in a timely manner. This will be done by running test cases and timing the process on the scanner module. I have mitigated potential risks by saving the data into memory instead of disk, so that it can reduce latency. 2 is to test the image acquisition process with the barcode scanning. I need to make sure nothing hinders both processes running at the same time, and make sure the images are what we want. This will be done by hand taking photos at a real setting with real products with expiration dates, and see if barcode scanning works as well. Last would be verifying that the OCR model works as planned with the rbpi, and that the model is producing the expected results. This will also be done by testing with real inputs at a real scenario.

Goals for the Next Week
I will continue to integrate the modules together, and verify that my submodule are working with the integrated module.
