Post-Acceptance Project Schedule

Planned Schedule Summary

This is the latest schedule amended prior to the beginning of iteration 3. After numerous discussions, we have been informed that CMA would really like to have photo-taking feature. Our primary research of measurement collection in iteration 1 has also shown us that it is not possible to determine gender based on Waist-Hip ratio as waist is not detected by Kinect. The highlight of the schedule amendment is hence the changes of interactive features to photo taking feature and gender recognition based on 4 parameters: height, shoulder length, whether shopper is holding on to a handbag, and whether shopper is wearing long skirt. The focus will be on gender recognition based on neural network until midterm, followed by development of photo taking feature post midterm.
