This week I did some debugging on the code and ran it through some simple tests. The code compiles and there are no memory leaks according to Valgrind, but after talking with Jason, it seems that how we manage memory might change when we actually move the code onto the board. For now though, this means all the list management and freeing seems to be problem free. Since memory management is going to change, I didn’t run any timing tests, but checked correctness for the distance calculations which seem to working for all the arrays I was running through it. I am having some problems with the speed difference function, I think its arising from trying to filter out objects that enter frame from the front as though it were being passed. I’ve heard Jason has gotten the Arduino and microwave communication up, so I hope to be able to have some data examples soon to be able to move on with the filtering code for ground, or to see if there are any unexpected features of the returned data.
