Yesterday: Incorporated figures, stats and graphs from single author paper, as well as visualizations of ICP/NDT usage for registration. Updated the timeline from the proposal. Presented and gained valuable feedback and comments from the group - large project, know all the details along the way, etc. Talked with Ali afterwards, which helped recognize Ideal Wishlist vs. Project Wishlist. Then describe clearly how to attain this wishlist. Updated slides accordingly.
Today: Add slides relating to topics, fundamental mathematical techniques and papers from proposal, paper and reading list - start with a slide per-item, and fill it in as I go along (update latex paper notes as well). Meet with Faramarz to gain his feedback.
Future Todos: Create list of motivations and future work of other animated articulated research.
Roadblocks: N/A
Where Does this Fit In: The candidacy exam demonstrates my capacity to be an independent researcher and make meaningful contributions to the research community. This enables me to continue to my work in developing the animal3d project.
