This week we ran for the first the my subsystem together with Sophia’s scanner controller. We rotated the coin manually so the normal map is noisy, be we see expected behavior for the areas we don’t spin (flat normal map). I also designed the test object we’re going to use, and printed it.
This sets us up well for the demo this coming week, as Theo just implemented his system so we’ll be able to run a full system test. I’ll also scan the test object on the benchmark scanner and probably try and run it on ours (maybe for the demo) to begin doing qualification. Lastly, I’ve been thinking about how we might threshold the object to avoid performing the pretty computationally heavy normal->depth map operation on the part of the scan we don’t care about. I think this should be simple if we just threshold the normal map, but ill test it and then work it into my subsystem.
