This week, I worked on and started finishing up the code for the hand detector class file. I’m almost done making the classes for the cursor update object that will continuously store the cursor location and will keep it stationary in the event the camera does not detect hand on some individual frames. We also started working on integrating my code with Alan’s and we’re able to get some form of cursor movement with the video camera. Once I finish up the class for the cursor class, we’ll have a more streamlined movement of the cursor on our object.
As a personal update, I did not have too much time to work on the project this week due to catching up on a lot of other work and matters due to my injury. I am almost fully recovered, so I am seeking to get back on track this week. I’ve run into one minor issue with using the webcam (which I met up with Tao over the week to try to fix) as I have some sort of permission issue on my laptop that is not letting me access the webcam, but I am more or less on schedule although lagging behind a bit. The webcam functionality is not too big a deal since it works on other computers and I can always just use my laptop webcam to test.
