Purdue CNIT 581 ATR Fall 2018 – Object Detection Application for Physically Disabled People

So, we did our presentation yesterday. Based on the feedback from Dr. Min and other classmates, we constantly realized that our original plan may have a problem. Hence, we had an urgent group meeting and we want to change our project to indoor object detection. Basically, we want to help people locate their personal items inside of a room. We will develop an app and user can talk to this app by saying "keys" or "mug". And our camera inside of the room will try to locate the place of the item. We like this new idea and we talked to Dr. Min. We will bring more update next week.

We had a meeting today to finalize the proposal and presentation. For proposal, Nulee was responsible for the first chapter, Dongfang prepared for LR, and Eunsuh completed the method and approach. Also, we made the presentation slides today and we designated Eunsuh to present the project background, project goals, and LR. Dongfang will present method, plan, and member roles. I
