Yesterday: Developed a conversion tool for pcd to matlab style matrices, including feature point detection (SIFT - could be other), matching, comparison against prior list with position updating or appending. Issue with handling duplicate matches. Will need to adjust system to support NaN vertices (ie. ones that are not visible either via kinect occlusion, or not visible in the scene); possibly tie in better with processing to use location estimates to search for subsequently matching features.
Today: Spent the whole day writing up final report for AITF scholarship. Was able to adapt from project proposal as well as scholarship application summary; good to have list tracking key accomplishments within a given year. While I'm not superwoman, I did accomplish things. Needing to get it written up though...
Roadblocks: N/A
Where Does this Fit In: Good to continue development for support of live input (currently pcd to matrix; have sketch for kinect to pcd but if I recall there were a few bugs in Matlab's support for the Kinect) and use self-generated data sets. May need to visit a toy store soon. Good to practise summarizing accomplished results.
