Our capstone project is officially DONE. We submitted our paper around 6:15 PM today. It is posted on our website at cs.plu.edu/~scanners.
It has been a great ride...sure there were some stressful moments and some struggles, but in the end, I am very proud of the project we were able to put together and of the results that we obtained.
I hope readers of this blog have gained a better understanding of 3D scanning and has had gained a deeper interest in the world of 3D graphics.
Thanks for reading.

Week of 5/6
Well, Academic Festival is behind us...and boy was our presentation a success.
We filled the room with quite a few people and gave an hour-long presentation, including questions. We got quite a few questions, which I am not too surprised with given the nature of our topic. Overall I've heard positive things about the presentation. I am proud of how we did and in our project and results overall.
We are now working on our final document which is due next Wednesday. I will likely have one more blog post following that.
Check out our updated website with the presentation slides and video at www.cs.plu.edu/~scanners.
Until next week!

Week of 4/29
Academic Festival is just about here!
We have prepared our slides, practiced, and run some good scans. We present Saturday at 10:45 AM.
Since my last post, we did have some problems...It turns out that OpenCV looks for a certain color pattern on the chessboard to know where to start the calibration. Without being consistent in intrinsic and extrinsic calibrations, there will be problems. Anyways, I finally figured out how we needed to do it and drew arrows on the chessboard so we know the correct way to do the calibrations according to our code.
Also, Grady implemented a gear box out of Lego Mindstorms. That combined with the Servo motor provides a good, slow motion of the laser, and we have gotten pretty good results.
Hopefully our presentation will go well! Come out and see it!
