Jimmy’s Status Report

This week I have been working on the CV system trying to detect two balls when adjacent to each other. I did not think that this would be a problem but the original way my CV program was working it would not detect them. I …

This week I spent a lot of time continuing integration with Devank and working to improve the CV System. I improved detection of balls along the edge so it will find those consistently and than Devank and I worked together to get the Servo system …

Devank and I continued to work on the integration of our two systems, the shot calculation, projection and CV System. We made good progress on working on it but found some errors that need to be fixed this upcoming week. We discovered that when the …

This week I implemented the color to work with the webcam. We currently have run into problems with the lighting being inconsistent but when I have good lighting the program is working. I then worked with Devank and integrated our two programs to work together …

This week I made very good progress. I got the CV program working with the video and have experimented with the optimization of it to make it work faster. I also have worked on the detection of solids vs stripes vs the eight ball vs …

I continued work on the CV Program. I have the code working on static pictures to identify all pool balls. This works very well and I have it currently outputting all of the centers of the pool balls. When I tried it with live video …

This week I worked on helping with the frame and working on the Design Report. I helped pick up the wood from Home Depot where we ordered it and transported it back to CMU for us to use. I helped start construction of the frame …

This week on Sunday I practiced the design presentation to make sure I was prepared and ready for difficult audience questions. I also have been designing the CV program that is trained to recognize pool table balls on the pool table. The progress on the …

This week I started working on the CV portion of our project. I was doing research into openCV and started writing up programs that would loop through many photos of pool tables with balls to be able to train it to recognize pool balls.  I …

This week I was unfortunately sick for the first half of the week so I wasn’t able to work then. After I was able to work with my team on ordering parts for our projects. I also started planning how to build the frame that …
