Week of 9/24 Progress

This week, there wasn't as much progress.

We met on Tuesday and went over what we had done the previous week. One thing mentioned for improvement was our repo.  So this week I cleaned out the repo a little removing things we didn't need. I also added an ignore file for our future commits.  I also found some additional links from Brown University that will help us out.  I went through some of the post-processing slides from the Siggraph course as well.  As for team progress, we haven't really done much this week.

Hopefully next week we can work on trying to get a checkerboard and do some research as to the camera functions within OpenCV (e.g. autofocus).  We now have an OpenCV reference book that I will try and get to next week (ch. 11 in particular).

Personal assessment is that I have contributed some additional resources for reference that includes some more info and math work.  Team assessment: not great this week as we didn't really do much teamwise outside of our mentor meeting. We probably should have met since Tuesday.  But we did check out our workspace and discussed setup a little (such as where to have our scene/camera).

Hopefully we can get the intrinsic params for the camera before too long...

Progress, week of 9/17

This week, our group met with Dr. Wolff to go into more detail on what we should review.

I spent some time on my own reading through the math of triangulation found in the Brown University/Siggraph course on building a 3D scanner. I also configured Visual Studio 2010 and OpenCV on my laptop.  I tested out code with live video and it worked.

On Thursday, our group met.  We went through the step-by-step example of the Matlab toolbox for image calibration with the checkerboard.  We also started up our website using GitHub pages.

We also have set up a GitHub repo.

This was a pretty successful week overall :)
