vIRal Vision Capstone Project

Description

June 2020-December 2020
Northeastern University Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering

  • Collaborated with a team of five other ECE students to develop a novel solution regarding addressing and enforcing social distancing requirements through the use of wireless sensor networks, machine learning algorithms, and the Internet of Things (IoT).
  • Goal: Create a system to track human movement in public spaces, identify choke points and high-traffic hotspots, and provide visual and auditory indicators that enforce social distancing.

High-Level Software Architecture

As a member of the high-level software sub-team, my responsibilities included:

  • Helping develop a suite of motion-prediction (predictor) algorithms that model how people intend to move through a given space based on kinematic, behavioral, and social criteria.
  • Creating a multi-classifier machine learning model the accepts predictions from the predictor algorithms enabling the system to determine which algorithm is most accurate given the situational and environmental context.
