Progress Report #5

The team's progress 4/5 - 4/12

Team Updates

Ranjini's Updates

Worked with the ESP32 IDF to get the Flir Lepton up and running. We were still receiving corrupted packets and so we pivoted to developing using Arduino on the ESP32. Also ordered the parts for the esp32.

Ash's Updates

Worked to finish the GMM + thresholding algorithm so that first the GMM clustering is done, and then thresholding is done for colors that are in the highest intensity. This will also help for this week, where I plan to finish finding the highest density values throughout the day with multiple pictures. Will also work to push processed images to S3 from Lambda environment.

Arya's Updates

Worked with Ash to successfully render output image and dump to S3 for future consumption. Reconfigured Lambda execution package for sklearn.mixture.GaussianMixture support. Tested execution in cloud, successful processing and occupancy detection.

Pain Points

• Successfully interfacing ESP32 with Lepton (e.g. package capture, etc.)

Next Steps

• Transitioning from Raspberry Pi to ESP32 MCU.
• Potentially re-platform from ESP-IDF to Arduino.
• Add preprocessing steps for successful application of GMM for detection.
