Quality Requirements for Assignment
Discussion on the quality requirements for the homework assignment, including smooth video playback during speech and avoiding repetitive or annoying speech output.
Challenges Faced
Palma discusses the challenges faced in implementing speech capability alongside image recognition, including issues with threading and avoiding repetitive speech output.
Strategic Approach
Explanation of the strategic approach to balancing speech and recognition tasks using a flag system and global variables.
Coding Setup
Setting up the coding environment in Visual Studio Code, discussing the folder structure and program setup for developing on the Jetson Nano.
Camera Setup and Configuration
Configuration of the camera setup and webcam settings in the code for interfacing with the Jetson Nano.
Inference Engine Configuration
Setting up the inference engine for image recognition using the Jetson Nano and preparing the model for recognition tasks.
Display and Frame Processing
Setting up font and frame processing for displaying image recognition results on the screen, including calculating frames per second.
Image Recognition Processing
Processing frames for image recognition tasks, converting frame data for inference engine compatibility, and classifying objects in the frame.
Text Display and Labelling
Displaying text labels for image recognition results on the window, including displaying the identified item and confidence level.
Troubleshooting Errors
Troubleshooting errors related to variable definitions and debugging the code for proper execution, including resolving issues with frames per second calculation.
Successful Implementation
Successfully running the code with proper display of image recognition results and frames per second calculation, ensuring smooth operation of the program.
Speech Capability Implementation
Introduction to implementing speech capability using Google Text-to-Speech, including setting up threads and managing speech output based on confidence levels.
Speech Output Control
Control of speech output based on confidence levels and item recognition, ensuring speech is only delivered when confident and avoiding repetitive speech output.
Threading Setup for Speech
Setting up threading for speech output to run parallel to image recognition tasks, controlling speech output based on global variables and item recognition.
Optimizing Speech Output
Optimizing speech output by setting conditions for speaking, including only speaking if confidence is above a threshold and not repeating speech for the same item.
Troubleshooting Errors
Identifying and fixing errors in the Python code by checking for misspellings and typos. Demonstrates the process of troubleshooting and debugging code effectively.
Loading and Testing Models
Loading a model and testing its recognition capabilities by inputting various objects such as a remote control, beaker, coffee mug, and screw. Discusses the challenges faced during model testing.
Object Recognition Testing
Testing the model's object recognition with items like a mouse, computer keyboard, keypad, and spacebar. Addresses the issue of misinterpretation by the model, such as mistaking a green screen for a shower curtain.
Interactivity and Real-world Problems
Discussing the shift from linear program flow to handling multiple tasks simultaneously. Exploring real-world problems related to timing and program execution. Reflects on the interactive lessons and practical applications of GPIO pins, servos, cameras, and Nano capabilities.
