Designing affordable and privacy-preserving technologies to advance food equity: an on-device shelf-monitoring prototype for the Cal Poly Food Pantry. PI: Prof. Souvik Kundu · Student researcher: Amogh Somisetty.
Pre-semester progress: the system concept, a trained baseline model (0.90 mAP50), two completed experiments with before/after visuals, the groundwork (literature, IRB, privacy architecture), and the five decisions queued for the first meeting.
The deployment site, measured before visiting: dimensioned floor plan and shelf elevation from video photogrammetry, camera coverage geometry, annotated site frames, and the trainable-feature inventory.
