Michael’s Status Report for 3/30/2024

Weekly Accomplishments

• Trained YOLOv8 model which ran on my old laptop for almost a full week. Training results show 99% accuracy which is a tad worrysome with overfitting, but we’ll cross that bridge when we get there.
• Booted Kria KV260, updated packages, and launched server code. Currently working on accelerating PyTorch.
• Used an old router and connected everything over the router.
• Discovered decreasing to preview images instead of streaming 1080p video makes RPi Zero 2W stream at ~5fps which is plently fast.

Overall Progress

• Scanner case needs to be printed, but that got delayed because filament didn’t arrive soon enough.
• Still have some work to prepare for interm demo, but there’s plently of time tomorrow.

Next Week’s Goals

• Interm Demo
• Connect API calls into server kernel
• Run further testing on YOLOv8 Model.
