This is Sprint 1 in our team project, and this means we actually have to build something like concept or prototype depends on our own ideas that is pitch.
Topic:
- Decide Project
- Further research on Idea Pitch
Progress:
Because we have 2 different Idea and both of them have the potential to become our 4th-year project, I decide to split our team into 2 part so I assign Illya to further investigate on his Social-Dev idea, and Zeyan and I start to look at Arduino hardware and insect recognition library which is able to use on recognize the insect under the water which is needed to calculate the score by using the method in SSCS survey manual.
I start to google about the insect recognition library, system.
And also install python on my own laptop, playing around with OpenCV library which supports facial recognition.
And also although everyone is having progress, but they don't have the habit to draw their task on the taskboard on scrumwise, so every night after I asking for their progress in daily meeting, I need to go to scrumwise and drag the task board myself
Issues:
I tried to use the demo on web service provided by Amazon and Microsoft, but the accuracy is not good enough to have done the project, I tried to put the insect image to Amazon Rekognition and it replies me that is a spider. I knew that it is because the web service their provide the usually used on objects more general but not specific on the insect.
After that, I start to find some app on appstore or some open source library online to to the recognition system, but I cannot found any library that is specific for insect and the application on appstore is also doesn't recognize the insect image which is record in SSCS survey manual.
I think about maybe we need to build the AI model ourself, but if we want to do that, we need a huge size of sample image to do that.
Additional:
Looking at the burndown chart for this sprint, actually there is a 10 hour workload disappear from it, that is because at the middle of the sprint, we actually decide to give up social dev idea. I don't know is that a right way, but the decision I made is I just remove the proof of concept building for that Idea from the sprint.
