Surafel’s Status Report for 3/30/24

This week I worked with Ryan and Doreen to get all of the components of the project connected and working together. During this, after discussing further plans of action, I ended up replacing the SVM classifier (that did the guessing of faces based on the known face embeddings) with a much simpler solution that involves calculating and finding the face embeddings that have the minimum Euclidean distance (now we don’t have to rerun scripts to retrain the SVM classifier). Also, I was able to get the OpenCV video stream up and displaying on the webapp.
I think I have recovered a good amount of what I was behind on because I was sick, but still have to continue to be fully back on track.
Next week, I plan on continuing to connect all of the components with my teammates and (time permitting) getting the face recognition to work on the webapp.
