Yesterday: Reviewed where I'm at in project development. Built a synthetic example of two boxes rotating about one another. They appear to successfully find each other. (video)
Re-scheduled UX validation test for a colleague. Spent much of the afternoon assisting a colleague with some of their academic challenges.
Today: Create series of synthetic examples from blender and possible double pendulum. Implement transformation-based validation (ie. modification of original step 2 of process), and process for reliance on prior frames. Generate a file-loading for test cases so there is consistency in process validation.
Write up (mathematical foundation, computational/theoretical implementations) for future writing/papers:
- distance-based segmentation
- block-based segmentation/checking
Consider laying out how I'd like the thesis to look and how I'd like it to describe the various implementations and stages along the way.
Roadblocks: Not being overwhelmed, being realistic, and taking it baby-step by baby-step.
Where Does this Fit In: Having 3D synthetic examples to work with is important in validating the developed reconstruction process. Developing good visualizations - as well as a mathematical discussion of the process - along the way helps demonstrate proof-of-concepts, provides affirmation of skill sets for resource/backing requests, and justifies the direction to be taken.
