Tracking Real Life Objects with a Raspberry-Pi

    This week showed that most of our efforts on this project paid off, resulting in successful tracking of objects that are displayed in front of the camera. Within our system we now accomplished the following this week: -           The Raspberry Pi now has the appropriate power supply and so does not shut down any more, allowing the tracking to work without low voltage problems. -           Automatic movement of the Pan-Tilt mechanical arm to follow object that is being tracked. In the video above we can see the system is tracking the phone being used to record it. -           Live image feed with labels showing each object and what it is -             We still however ran into the following problem: -           The Raspberry Pi 400 arrive...

  This week was one of the more productive weeks as we managed to: -           Connect and run the Operating System of a working Raspberry Pi. -           Connect the camera and the Pan-Tilt mount to the Pi board. -           Use researched code to operate the camera and take pictures with it. -           Connected the wiring and get the Pan-Tilt to be recognised by the Raspberry Pi. -           Produce code to detect and move the Pan-Tilt mechanical arm using the arrow keys. -           Get object detection working with the system. The system is able to detect objects that are shown in front of the camera and display what it thinks the object is with the percentage showing how accurate it is in real time. As sh...

  This week, we accomplished the following: -           Found a viable power source and display cable. We used a laptop to power the Raspberry Pi. -           Connected a Raspberry Pi to the computer (LEDs lit up to show connection). -      Connected the camera to the Raspberry Pi and tested to see it was working correctly. -      Assembled the Pimoroni Pan-Tilt HAT and mounted the camera in to the Pan-Tilt -           Found resources to help with the software side of the project, enabling and taking pictures with the camera.   However, we ran into the following problems: -           Raspberry Pi and Coral USB accelerator ordered did not arrive in time, they were backlocked. So we had to use a much older Raspberry Pi 3b that was brought as a contingency...
