Regis University Data Science Practicum I

Proposed Topic: Real-time Object Detection for Retail Business Intelligence
Due Date: Summer I 2019 (May-June)
Practicum Advisor: Aiman Gannous

Overview: A machine learning computer vision model to utilize retail video cameras to learn more about the shopping habits of customers.

The Model:

Customer Counter Notebook

  • The Jupyter Notebook outlining each section of code in my customer counter python file.

The Code:

Still Image Object Detector

  • The python code for a still image object detector.

Customer Counter

  • The python code to count human objects crossing a line of demarcation. Intended to count customers crossing a specific plane intended to replicate the entrance/exit of a retail store.

Convolutional Neural Networks - 12.13.2018

  • A brief introduction to how CNNs work and why they're the preferred neural network for image recognition.

How to Write a Function in Python - 12.19.2018

  • A helpful guide on best practices to follow when writing your own Python functions.

Generate a random dataset - 12.20.2018

  • Working Python code (converted from Jupyter Notebook to HTML) to create a basic (pseudo)random dataset (.ipynb file is on main Github repository.) This is a decent starting point to build more robust datasets for testing statistical models.

Getting to Know Pandas - 01.08.2019

  • Using Daniel Chen's "Pandas for Everyone" to work through data analysis exercises. I plan to use this as a code snippet repository, reference for the future, and demonstration of my proficiency with the Pandas library.

Openstack Cloud Project - Spring 2019

  • Setting up a proof-of-concept Openstack cloud for Regis University - College of Computer and Information Sciences (CC&IS) department using three used servers. The goal is to secure funding for additional new hardware and eventually have a private cloud with large compute resources for student and department research projects.
