Progress◦ Integrated Development Environment & Toolkit Setup◦ Video/Image Acquisition & Image Processing◦ Subversion, Website, and Documentation

Proposed Approach Goals

◦ Image Segmentation by Sept. 21◦ Camera Calibration and Parameterization Software

by Sept. 21◦ SyRS base-line revision complete by Sept. 28

Questions

Development Software Decided ◦ NetBeans 7.0.1 with OpenCV through JavaCV wrapper

Works on every team member's computer Netbeans is a free IDE Platform Independent* Document made that explains how to install all

software components

Edge detection and contour interpolation program created for testing

◦ Shows contours as blue lines in real time◦ Utilizes video source from built in webcam

5 Major Components◦ Video/Image Acquisition & Enhancement◦ Image Segmentation◦ Image Registration using Optical Flow Analysis◦ 3-D Projection Mapping from Camera

Parameterization◦ Provide Directional Output for Navigation

Website made with auto-generated content based solely on SVN

◦ Automatic revision tracking◦ Automatic update notifications◦ Updates on an hourly basis

Project description written and submitted to Dr. Elmaghraby

SyRS started with project description and background information (needs additional input)

Image Processing◦ Analyze image segmentation techniques and begin coding at

minimum◦ Analyze approaches for registration using optical flow

Camera Calibration and Parameterization◦ Utilize ProCamLib software tool that is suggested by JavaCV (if

possible) or select an appropriate tool◦ Find the camera parameterization matrix (of webcam)

Documentation◦ Finish SyRS initial base-line

What are the camera specifications & parameters?

What sensors are on the MAV and do we have access to sensors?

Can we use these sensors to get information about the velocity and angular velocity (most important)?

Suggestions?
