Focus/Problem:

We are 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 though, the app's camera only detects edges (detecting any edge within range).



Target Items for the Upcoming Week:
Further our implementation of circle detection in order to go back and direct our focus on text recognition. 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. No red items are needed right now since we have temporarily removed the color detection code out of our own code, in order to focus on circle detection. Eventually we hope to tie these two codes together.
