Jolie’s Status Report for 10/19

Last week, I worked on getting pictures of the Scrabble board using our RPi camera that will be useful for testing the computer vision. Cody and I took these pictures together; he held a phone flashlight for appropriate lighting and I held the RPi camera in place. The set of pictures we took includes one valid word horizontally, one valid word vertically, one horizontal and one vertical word crossing each other, words on the edges of the board, and multiple words intertwining on the board with some invalid words. Having a variety of pictures with a better angle and better lighting than last time will be better representative of when we get the gooseneck mount and ring light. I also worked on the design report, writing the first five sections of it. Timing wise, I’d say I’m a little behind on my work with the hint generation, so next week, I will focus more time dedicated to coding the hint module. Last week I did a bunch of work with cv image capture and I wasn’t able to do as much as I wanted to with hints.
