Progress Report Due: 3/13/16


Progress:

Focus/Problem:

We are still in the process of adding a circle detection feature into our code. Through this, we plan for our app's camera to mask circles within range, so that all objects outside the circle are not shown. By doing this, we can focus the app's camera on a smaller portion of the frame, making it easier to eventually recognize numbers and letters within the circles.

As of right now, the application has detected the circle and has found the circle's center. Although, it is very glitchy. The circle's outline and center will not remain steady.


Target Items for the Upcoming Week:
We will need to search for the part in the code that is causing this glitch. We will also need to camera mask the circle so that the camera's focus is solely on the circle and what is inside of it. While circle detection will be beneficial to us if it succeeds as we intend, if we can implement text recognition we can start working with VoiceOver (to relay the detected signs back to the app user). Eventually we will also need to incorporate the red color detection code (that succeeded earlier) with this code once completed, so that the app's camera can mask colors and detect circles simultaneously.

Equipments Required:
-Mac Laptops
-Mr. Lin's iPad & Chord
-Large circles to verify the app recognizes what we want it to recognize.
