ARNEIS project journal - dev-cw16

As I announced in a previous post

Your team “B-AROL-O Bottling Systems” and project “ARNEIS: Automated Recognizer, Network-Enabled, Items Sorter” have been selected as one of just 50 teams to move on to Phase 2 of OpenCV Spatial AI Contest. Your team name and region are listed on the official webpage at https://opencv.org/opencv-spatial-ai-contest/

Here is the report of our progress in the ARNEIS project after the end of CW16-2022.

What did we accomplish this week?

In Sprint dev-cw16 we closed 13 issues or Pull Requests.

Let's now dig into some of the major results we achieved during last week.

It is already a great honor to have gone so far, and especially sharing this achievement together with such outstanding teams!

However, the competition is not yet over, since the committee announced that a special prize will be awarded to the team who will receive most votes in a public poll on the internet.

This is why we are now making a public call to all our friends and supporters:

Preparing for ARNEIS Release 1.0

Work is ongoing for Release 1.0 of the ARNEIS project. For this reason we are prioritizing bugfixes over new features.

Among the many bugfixes we have closed, Alessandro managed to restore the possibility to download the PDF with all the contents of https://arneis.readthedocs.io.

The complete PDF (as of today 193 pages, for about 45 MB) can be downloaded by simply clicking the corresponding link on the bottom left of the site:

More progress with the Arduino Portenta X8

We made further investigations about the Linux domain available on such powerful piece of hardware.
