- What did you personally accomplish this week on the project?
I was the speaker of the design review presentation, so I spent some time reviewing and practicing for it in the first couple days of last week. Then I started on setting up the backend codebase in Swift. Not familiar with Xcode or Swift language before, I watched a few online tutorials to help me get started. I encountered various issues when implementing the real app code, including basic syntax errors, program termination from the simulator’s failure to detect a camera, and permission inconsistency when I tried to export the app to my phone for testing. Those issues took me a while to fix, and thanks to the help from my teammates, I was able to create a camera app that features both photo and video taking. Although the current app is technically the basic version of the iPhone’s default camera app, it is integrable with our own app.
- Is your progress on schedule or behind? If you are behind, what actions will be taken to catch up to the project schedule?
My progress is mostly on schedule. However, I have some work that needs to be integrated with my teammates on Monday (mainly CV and ML phases). If the integration outcome fails to meet our expectations, we might devote some time over the spring break into it. Moreover, although I completed my assigned task of setting up the mobile app backend, I anticipated the upcoming workload for the mobile app might turn out to be heavier than we thought. Subsequently, I will spend more time in the spring break working on it.
- What deliverables do you hope to complete in the next week?
Continue with mobile app backend programming
CV and ML integration
Recognition accuracy testing
Design review report writing
