Kavish’s Status Report 2/24/24

Most of this week was spent on preparing the design presentation and then translating that presentation into report. Me and Neeraj discussed our design quite extensively for the presentation and report. We looked at different libraries for RNN and whether to use GRU or LSTM. I also spent time learning about the MediaPipe model as I am quite weak in the Machine Learning aspects. Unfortunately I was unable to work more on the FPGA development and still have to port a pre-trained model onto it for testing purposes. Although this does not put me behind the new schedule that we developed for design presentation, I will need to put in some extra hours next week to be ahead of schedule. I plan on implementing a basic pose estimation model from the Vitis model zoo and then benchmarking its performance to fully validate our idea.
