Marcus's Entry

This week I worked on getting HDR to work with LeRoy’s GUI. As a secondary task I began working on video image stabilization. So far I do not have a working implementation, but I have read a few research papers and have begun coding it up. Hopefully I can have some deliverable in this space by the next meeting. Now that we have a full pipeline from camera to processor to GUI we should be able to move very quickly through the image processing algorithms that we’ve set aside for us to do.

LeRoy's Entry

Using Gstreamer to save output of the RPi video application into a buffer. This allows the user to successfully capture an image on command. HDR is on the RPi, successfully compiled and running, but still needs to be tested. Additionally, I started looking at AVA RaspiCam, a C/C++ API for the RPi camera module. Using this API, I was able to integrate Exposure and ISO editing functionality into the GUI's 'Image Capture' mode.

Currently working on integrating panorama mode into LeRoy's existing API. For the panoramic image stitching mode, I am designing a couple of scenarios for exposure time and shutter speed. I am currently debating whether to make these parameters user-defined or if I should just stick to using what I think is best. I'm testing the camera to see which settings are the best for this mode. If I continue to have difficulties with producing cleanly-stitched images, I may have to delve deeper into OpenCV's Image Stitching class to see how I can make the example algorithm more robust.
