G7-Update1

Update 1

Since the Midterm Update, we don't have too much to report. Several members of the team have been away on spring break. The little progress we have made has been held up by hardware problems with the Stereo Camera device.

Pin Art Model

The Pin Art pin model has been created in Maya. The MEL Script has been written to create the matrix. We now have a working model for our pin matrix where we can reference each pin individually. Materials will be tweaked at a different time (once we have our environment set up). ( See below for images ).

Stereo Camera Footage

We seem to be having some hardware problems with the Stereo Camera. This is setting us back quite a bit. By now, we should have:

some test stereo footage captured,
the C code to interpret depth from the stereo camera written,
the matlab code to take the resulting image and make it readable by MEL Script,
and the MEL script to manipulate the pin art.

However, this whole "pipe" of our pipeline has been held up.

Matlab Code / Mel Script

As mentioned above, this has been held up due to the Stereo Camera hardware problems.
