FrontierPoint the camera, get a name: cup, book, backpack. A box and a confidence score they can read out loud.
Problem
Point a camera at a desk and name what’s there.
Approach
A small vision model, a box, a confidence number.
How it is built
frame in → predict → draw_box if conf is high enough.
Tools
Python · Vision · Labels
What was hard
“Not sure yet” when the model is guessing. Lighting. Hands in the frame.
Mentor notes
A label with no number is theatre. Show confidence.
What they have now
A camera tool that says cup, book, backpack — or admits it doesn’t know.
What they can now explain
- What the box is around
- What 0.96 means
- What they would try if it misses a bottle
