Repository for the HoneyBee Vision Darwin Project (2013-2014)
This project is maintained by Robert Chisholm & Adam Petterson
As a result of todays meeting we were tasked with settings up a basic site to track our progress and any updates (this). So we setup this site with a basic pages.github.com theme, it's static html, but hopefully we won't require anything super fancy, if so we can change it again later.
During the meeting it was suggested we check the color-spaces paper provided by Alex, as he believed this contained the website whereby software/source for converting images to 'beevision' could be obtained. This would be useful as it has a siginificant overlap with some of what we will be doing during our project.
The first step in the development of this project has been suggested to be calibration (so the orientation of the environment can be sensed?), along with the idea of this we were tasked with deciding on a 1st round image to be used for the camera by Friday 25th October. It was expected that the quadrocopter would be ready within a couple of weeks, at which point we should be ready to produce a second round of calibration images.
Additionally this week the capture cards arrived (one for the meeting, the others on the Friday). Adam took one of these home to start testing with, as I (Robert) was busy with other modules until the weekend I collected one on the Friday. We will likely be using OpenCV for the capture, Alex suggested he had success using 'G4L' which I believe to be the Linux distro G4 rather than a software package or library. Myself and Adam both use Arch linux.
