This week didn’t see much in the form of technical progress due to the design paper we had due Wednesday at midnight (and because every class seemed to decide this would be exam week). Writing the design paper however did produce some good results though on the organizational side of Read more…
The first part of my week was largely focused around the finishing of our slides for the design review. This consisted of a lot of work with the other members choosing/finalizing what components we would be using for this project as well as talking to Nate about what we thought Read more…
This week was a lot of work on our design presentation towards the start. During the creation of that presentation we finalized a lot of our technical requirements, including performance specs, the camera, power source, general setup, etc. The camera does shoot at 100fps so the fact remains that we’ll Read more…
The majority of my work this week revolved around starting the creation of the Python backend using the OpenCV library. I started by laying out a basic workflow for how I envisioned this part of the system working. It consists of 2 main threads, one taking in images and creating Read more…
