Project Update Week 8

TANDEM 0.5 will be moving from it’s heavy development phase into a testing and forward-facing design phase this week. At the time of this posting, Steve and Chris are still working out the specifics of functioning unified code, but testing of the independent scripts has begun to a certain degree of success. Text and image values are easily generated via independent processes. This week we also discussed the idea of data persistence with some depth. Simply put, would someone be able to access the ...

Week 7 Project Update

Things are barreling ahead on TANDEM development! With our corpus defined and development goals set, the team is taking a two-pronged approach to the reaching the final project. While Chris and Steve focus on continuing to develop and code the working project, Kelly and Jojo have turned their attention to the work to be done with the corpus. Equally as important as building TANDEM is the ability to show a proof-of-concept and illustrate the value of the output TANDEM generates. While the ...

week 6 project update

Development On the image processing side of things, Chris has identified the syntax for generating our key values. Now we are working toward stitching the pieces together in a way that makes sense for our output. The extreme minimum of computer vision is accessible via OpenCV and while the possibilities are tantalizing, we have continued to keep a direct focus on the key pieces we need to access for the mvp. TANDEM is still on track. We have also begun to reevaluate our ...
