Project Description

RoboCam will sense the location and orientation of the projectors, then determine and make the necessary calibrations    

Ultimate Goals

• Software/Hardware platform used for automatic projector calibration

• Siggraph 2012

Deliverables

• Robotic Camera Mount (pitch & yaw)

• Software to calculate calibrations

• Android Application

• Documentation/Site: https://sites.google.com/site/ecerobocam

• Gantt Chart, Requirements Document, Final Report

Benefits     

Good for US:  • Diverse : Software + Hardware + Mathematics /

Theoretical Understanding + Understanding commercial solutions

 Good for THEM:

• Platform for further research on various calibration environments

• Manual calibration can be time consuming and expensive

Major Milestones

• Google Site Construction (https://sites.google.com/site/ecerobocam)

• Testing of Arduino, Gameduino, Motor Shield

• Motor Shield Assembly

• First prototype construction (pitch & yaw)

• Projector and Gameduino interfacing

• SOE Open House Demo http://www.cs.unm.edu/~jmk/robocam/IMG_3961.MOV
