Team Status Report

Our biggest problem has been lighting for the CV. As always, it detects the balls’ shadows as part of the ball, meaning that with poor or uneven lighting, it can merge two balls together or even fail to detect a ball since the shape is …

This week, Justin worked on resoldering the components using softer wire. He also made some updates so that the pool cue will also send the direction it is facing when a shot is made. Devank made some changes to the frame to allow the webcam …

This week, Justin worked on soldering the components so they are more stable when attached to the pool cue. He also worked on integration by making it so his data can be printed to a txt file, which can then be read by our other …
