Welcome to the team Electric Eye blog post for the week of 4/18! This week is the final time for development ahead of FDR, and the team has been working on putting the finishing touches on our device and preparing our presentation material. With the feedback received from our peer-reviewed presentation, we feel confident that our presentation will do a great job displaying the work we accomplished!
What We Accomplished
This week the team has given our focus to completing our documentation, fixing the material we are looking to present, and covering the logistics of next week’s FDR event. The team feels confident with the current state of the device, however we did make a few changes that benefit our product greatly. Likely one of the biggest changes that we made this week was with how we were processing data from our AI. Unfortunately, after lots of time spent trying to make it work, the team moved on from the ‘.hef’ file and decided to look elsewhere to get the device operating quicker. We decided to try multiprocessing, and we are very happy with our results! While it was not the acceleration we were hoping for with the AI Hat, this development has helped to smooth our UI! Testing results with this update have also been very good, making this change a great addition to our product! Here are some more things the team has accomplished this week:
- Hardware: Beyond the multiprocessing achievement, the hardware team worked with UI team this week to setup device shutdown.
- AI/ML: The AI team gathered a dataset for one final training to use on our device!
- UX/UI: The UI team has been making some final changes to the UI and has spent some time finding places to optimize our device’s processes.
Though there are not many developments to discuss this week, the team has been working on ensuring we perform well at FDR!
That’s all from us this week at team Electric Eye! After FDR next week we’ll have plenty to talk about and members will give their final retrospectives for the year!
