Over the course of this last week, I worked on helping with Jeremy’s final presentation (Sunday – Monday), then began generating some clips for the video demo. I generated both audio recordings of myself explaining the components I worked on in the implementation, as well as some screen recorded clips demonstrating the concepts I discuss. Finally, for the video, I created a blender animation of the monkey mesh being unearthed from the sand, which was a good learning experience in 3D rendering and animation for me.
Jeremy worked hard and managed to create a very well produced video for our project, arranging many components in a cohesive story. We all gave him copious feedback to improve the video, and then starting Friday, we began working on our final report. I am now working on assembling additional figures to demonstrate the validation plan that has become more concrete since our Design Review Presentation. Namely, we have been using a dataset of several 3D ground truth meshes acquired via Sketch Lab from two primary sources (these sources will be cited in our report). These sources provide real scanned archaeological objects, so meet our user story exactly. Also since the design review report, we have created quantitative metrics with which to asses the accuracy of scans in multiple ways. I will continue to generate data and add these figures to the final report.
I am currently on schedule, do not foresee any major risks, and plan to help finish the final report by the deadline.
