My main focus this week has been finding additional literature on photometric stereo, and and beginning to parametrize the work’s findings for our use case (orthographic, fixed reflection angle with a variable number of rotations). I also supported my teammates with purchasing components, reviewing mechanical design, and performing cost-benefit analysis on certain design choices (especially to do with modularity).
Next week I’ll have to finish up parametrize the math and translate that into code. I’ll also help test the manipulator subsystem by analyzing the alignment of the output images.
