This week I created an initial face recognition system after doing some research on OpenCV. This initial system currently recognizes faces through a live video stream somewhat accurately using images I inputted manually. Accuracy numbers could be improved with more data to train on and tweaking different model parameters. This system can also check the size of the drawn bounding box to see if we should process a face, which is an important part of our project. Additionally, I was also preparing for the design presentation early on in the week.
I am currently on schedule with the face recognition system, but it could change this week as I have a midterm coming up this week. I will try to find time before my exam to do work and will shift my focus to this after I complete my exam.
Next week, I plan on implementing a way to register new faces into the current face recognition system and (time permitting) adding code to allow communication with the other components.
