Yesterday: (Last few days) Was able to get examples from Perera et al. to load, including visualizing their clustered results within my program. Able to load in pcd files and convert them to matrices for use by the program (saves only features that are always visible consistent with Perera et al's approach - ie. NaN values TBD). In turn, able to load this into my own program for clustering, etc. Good visual results, though low feature points extracted and only for few frames. Able to render point clouds and overlay feature points. Had an issue with the feature points overlay order (SortMethod depth vs childorder) in Matlab, which was resolved with a little guidance.
Attempting to get additional tests cases for better examples, but the helper functions built 2 years ago no longer work - updating libraries, etc. to get functional.
Submitted AITF report. Accepted for teaching CPSC453 conditional on formal application. Request for reference letter from undergraduate course. Request for formal report describing work to-date.
Today: Spent the last two days and today getting PCL and Boost libraries to work on Ubuntu with cmake. Finicky thing but finally seem to be able to get it compiling. Need to test that it will register the Kinect and attempt to generate new samples.
Roadblocks: N/A
Where Does this Fit In: Aiming to have good results to share with supervisors as a demonstration of progress to-date.
