Week 3 (May 29 – June 1, 2018)
Accomplishments:
Worked through the algorithm that I found last week.
Implemented a check of the linear regression of a column of the depth image.
Problem & Solutions
The algorithm that I found was using a very different scale for their threshold parameters (their depth values cap at around 200 while ours cap at around 6000), so we need to find our own experimentally. There’s 4 different parameters we need to check that results in thousands of combinations.
Since we can’t possibly find tresholds manually, I created another program that cycles through all the combinations and logs how successful they are so we can pick numbers with a high amount of correct answers and a low amount of false negatives.
Plans for next week:
Collect images and measurements for a data set.
Run the data set through the program I created.
Test how well it works in real time!
