Project Summary

iomico is building a refrigerator augmentation prototype for a fresh-food online marketplace, combining computer vision hardware and host controller software. The team determined camera placement and lenses, developed host controller and Android communication layers, and has achieved milestones such as hand movement detection and object enumeration. Communication has been frequent and effective, and the vendor's combined hardware and software skills have met the client's needs.

Key Challenges

  • Develop a prototype of a computer vision system to augment the refrigerator's sensing capability

Project Deliverables

  • Prototype of a computer vision system for fridge retrofit
  • Camera placement, lens selection and camera count determination
  • Host controller software
  • Android MQTT communication layer
  • Driver interface to a new payment system

Project Solution

The vendor evaluated requirements and facilities, then designed and built a prototype computer vision system to retrofit a refrigerator. They determined camera placement, lenses and camera counts, developed host controller software, implemented detection features (hand movement, object enumeration) and built an Android-side MQTT communication layer. They are also developing a driver interface to integrate with a new payment system.

Project Outcome

  • The project is tracking to timelines and has achieved project milestones
  • Effective communication and workflow with daily standups for Android, weekly calls for computer vision, and Slack
  • The client reported that the vendor's hardware and software skills blend well and that their Operational Support System is ideal
