This week I researched on the computer vision algorithms that our team is going to use. I have looked into the background subtraction algorithm, which seemed especially useful comparing the different states the board will go through in each turn. I have also looked into the hardware for the camera to see what camera our team is going to use for the computer vision component. It seems like Logitech 270 will do the job, with 30 fps and a reasonable price to accomplish our goal. I have also set up the website as well as prepared my portion of slides that we have divided.
As for the schedule, I am on schedule with the initially planned schedule.
Next week, I am going to start experimenting with OpenCV libraries available so we can grayscale the image and explore algorithms in OpenCV to prepare for the image processing.
