Anoushka’s status report for 10/2

This week I worked on finalising the Camera compatible with Rpi that we will be using for the CV. I also began working on using OpenCV to detect edges of an image of a chess board. I then began working on detection of squares in a chess board image. I am thinking of starting at the middle of the chess board, and going one-by-one in all directions till I hit a large color gradient. This would be the edge of the square in that direction. Because our sample chess board hasn’t arrived yet, I had to use an image off the internet. However, at least the basic algorithm will be transferable to our chess board. I also discussed with Demi the requirements that our chess board must satisfy so that I am able to detect the squares and the pieces on the board.  fo
