Doreen’s Status Report for 4/27/24

This week I mainly worked on the final presentation and doing end-to-end testing. I worked with Surafel in completing speed and distance tests to ensure that only users within 0.5 meters of the camera would be recognized and that they would be recognized within 5 seconds. This involved doing various tests by changing our distances from the camera and fine tuning the facial recognition algorithm with any results were unexpected. For testing the entire system, I asked several volunteers to check in and check out items on the rack and ensured that the rack successfully displayed their items upon checkout. Lastly, I prepared for the final presentation since I would be the speaker. I spent some time practicing delivering the presentation, ensuring I was well informed about all components of our project and that the design trade-offs and testing procedures were clearly explained.
My progress is on schedule as I have completed all the parts of the project initially assigned to me, including unit and integration testing.
Next week, I hope to work with the other members of the team to wrap up the project. I will mainly work on completing the facial recognition and the web application. If there is time, I will also work on implementing the bonus feature, the buzzer alert, along with various tests to ensure this feature works as intended with the rest of the system.
