Progress Report #6

The team's progress 4/12 - 4/19

Team Updates

Ranjini's Updates

Got the ESP32 on the wifi, still working on SPI. Met with Artur about issues with SPI and are investigating further in to it.

Ash's Updates

Talked to Professor Seviddes in order to figure out how to perfect the algorithm. Figured out we need to train data to see how many gmm components to use. Also looked into Canny edge detector and implemented some code to find people, but didn't work better than the gmm algo.

Arya's Updates

Worked with Ranjini to trouble shoot ESP32 SPI read/write issues.

Pain Points

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

Next Steps

  • Transitioning from Raspberry Pi to ESP32 MCU.
  • Choose platform: ESP-IDF or Arduino.
  • Create RPi Plan B prototype.
