This week the entire team worked on our proposal presentation. We used the feedback we received during our meetings with Tamal and Tao to reconsider some aspects of our project.
I also did some research on the computer vision algorithms that I will be working on this semester. I read some research articles that have been published on detecting a laser pointer, as I am planning on writing a program that can detect a laser on a box. I also read about edge detection algorithms, as we will need to use edge detection in our project. Finally, I looked into April Tags and cameras, as we are planning on using both in our project. I looked at the specs and reviews of different cameras, and looked at some April tag tutorials to get a sense of how we will use these components.
So far, I believe I am on schedule. We have just divided up the tasks within the group, and I have began working on my tasks. In the next week, I plan to finalize what edge and laser detection technique I will use, and select a camera for our robot.
