This week I continued to look into CV while awaiting materials. As I further delve into the CV content, I have increasing doubts that we will be able to meet latency requirements. After discussions with the team we have developed fallback plans to adjust the speeds of the ball to buy more computation time, either by scaling all speeds globally, or locally slowing down opponents’ shots while keeping the player’s shots in real-time. We have also considered scaling up the size of the court to make the game more similar to tennis. I also began preparing for my assigned design presentation.
This week’s progress was decent, clearing up details on our design and creating mitigation planning for the foreseeable latency issues we may have. Now that our materials have arrived we can really make progress on our subsystems .
