Project Validation Checklist

README Requirements Validation

Original Requirements from README:

  1. Flask API that processes motherboard images
  2. Detects memory modules present on motherboards
  3. Returns image with bounding boxes around detected memory modules
  4. Image upload via Flask API
  5. Hardcoded image for testing purposes
  6. Dataset: 20 pictures with memory, 20 without memory
  7. Annotation tool suggestion: makesense.ai (Already annotated)

Additional Features Implemented:

  • Web Frontend for QA Testing (Beyond requirements)
  • Base64 image processing endpoint
  • Comprehensive API testing suite
  • Automated setup script
  • Complete documentation

🔧 Technical Implementation Validation

Algorithm Choice Questions Answered:

  1. Which algorithm for detecting memory modules?

    • Answer: YOLOv8 Nano
    • Reasoning: State-of-the-art performance, real-time inference, pre-trained weights, easy integration
  2. Hardware considerations (CPU vs GPU impact)?

    • Training: GPU recommended (5-10 min vs 30-60 min CPU)
    • Inference: CPU sufficient for real-time, GPU better for batch processing
    • Implementation: Auto-detection with fallback
  3. Video input approach?

    • Approach described: Frame extraction + batch processing + temporal tracking
    • Implementation strategy provided with pseudo-code
