3.1. Requirement Analysis

3.1.1 Hardware Requirements

  • Main Control Unit: Xiao ESP32-S3
  • Sensors/Devices:
    • Microphone: Capture audio and recognize specific trigger phrases (e.g., "How many people are ahead?").
    • Camera: Capture photos and send them to the main control unit for processing.
    • Display: Show the results of recognition (e.g., text or images).
    • Speaker (optional): Play audio feedback with recognition results.
    • WiFi Module: Connect to the internet for processing and cloud interaction (e.g., uploading photos or remote recognition).

3.1.2 Software Requirements

  • Voice Recognition Module:
    • Capture audio using the microphone.
    • Recognize trigger words or phrases (e.g., “How many people are ahead?”).
  • Image Processing Module:
    • Capture a photo and send it to the processing unit.
    • Use an image recognition model (e.g., TensorFlow Lite) to analyze the photo and recognize objects or scenes.
  • Display Module:
    • Show the recognition results (e.g., text, image).
  • Voice Feedback Module (optional):
    • Play audio feedback based on the recognition results.
  • Wi-Fi Module:
    • Connect to the internet, possibly for remote control or uploading recognition results.
  • Power Management:
    • Provide stable power to ensure continuous operation of the device.

3.1.3 Functional Requirements

  • Startup & Connection: The device should automatically connect to the Wi-Fi network upon startup and wait for microphone input.
  • Voice Trigger: Trigger photo capture and image recognition via specific voice commands.
  • Image Recognition: Recognize people, objects, or scenes in the captured photo and return results.
  • Voice Feedback (optional): Play feedback information via the speaker based on the recognition results.
  • Display Results: Display the recognition results on the screen.

3.1.4 Performance Requirements

  • Latency: The latency of voice recognition and image processing should be as low as possible for a smooth user experience.
  • Accuracy: The voice and image recognition accuracy must be high to ensure the device can recognize trigger words and objects accurately.
