Team Status Report for 2/24/24

Risks:

• RPi Camera borrowed from the inventory was the HQ variant (which requires additional lens). Will need to buy new RPi Cameras.
• Michael has a family medical emergency and will be heading home on Wednesday evening. He’ll be able to work remotely on Thursday, and a bit some on Friday afternoon.

Changes:

• Using YOLOv8 (likely medium sized model) for object detection instead of writing custom OpenCV object detection. This change is due to diving deeper into how OpenCV object detection is done, and increasing familarity with YOLO from another class.

Progress:

• Started creating the Flutter app UI elements, like the scrollable inventory screen of item cards
• Completed Flutter Demo App, includes functionality of saving items in a session and changing pages in an app
  • Learned to save ‘favorites’ and display them on different page on the same session (no persistence/DB here)
  • Also learned how to display when on different page
  • Learned how to make webapp responsive to size changes (unsure if this will be super relevant but still cool).
• Shared python objects over a network between RPi Zero and a laptop. Since everything in python is an object, demonstrated proof of concept for sending images over network.
