I tweaked a few parameters and also got the animation to work. Now, Blender can either render a whole video or render a bunch of images with each frame of the video being saved as an image instead. We will use the set of images with a known rotation angle shift per image (360 degrees \/ number of frames) as input to our scanning software.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Here is the video of the rotating laser scan, where the laser is projecting from the right side: https:\/\/youtu.be\/7rv-rFpyDcM<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I updated the block diagram for our system &#8211; note that all the physical components have been removed, and the controllers are also removed. We have Blender-simulated data instead for the input, and we will likely use a Django web app for ease of running Python with a simple web interface rather than using some Python GUI like Tkinter which would take more unnecessary time to implement. Chakara and I are both experienced in developing web applications so using Django is more of a choice of saving time in a portion that isn\u2019t entirely essential to the project.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-189\" src=\"http:\/\/course.ece.cmu.edu\/~ece500\/projects\/s20-teamb3\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/85\/2020\/03\/system_spec_diagram_updated_mar_28.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"839\" height=\"454\" srcset=\"https:\/\/course.ece.cmu.edu\/~ece500\/projects\/s20-teamb3\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/85\/2020\/03\/system_spec_diagram_updated_mar_28.png 839w, https:\/\/course.ece.cmu.edu\/~ece500\/projects\/s20-teamb3\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/85\/2020\/03\/system_spec_diagram_updated_mar_28-300x162.png 300w, https:\/\/course.ece.cmu.edu\/~ece500\/projects\/s20-teamb3\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/85\/2020\/03\/system_spec_diagram_updated_mar_28-768x416.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 839px) 100vw, 839px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Moving forward, I will finalize the laser scan by adding a platform and also calibrating the angle between the camera and the laser, as well as the height of these two items.
