Yesterday: Filed away some papers that were of interest, tracking them accordingly within the notes documents. Met with Faramarz, and discussed potential break or alternative arrangement for research. Discussion included suggestion to work with Matlab to get code up and running faster. Manually created sample feature points on a sphere and am working on loading them into Matlab. Also manually generated simple descriptive file for 3D transformations (rotation based on a user-provided unit vector, akin to quaternions).
Today: Get 3D plotting of stationary feature points within Matlab. Then work on incorporating 3D transformations. Place hold in library for UI/UX books or find one online for continued motivation.
Roadblocks: N/A
Where Does this Fit In: Having 3D synthetic examples to work with is important in validating the developed reconstruction process. Recognizing the need for "having fun" with the part of graphics development that I enjoy is beneficial for overall productivity.
