Fifth Meeting - snowpuppy/augreality GitHub Wiki

Notes from Meeting on July 21, 2013

2pm - 3:30pm

In order to get building coordinates from Google Maps:

  • Scrape images+url requests from Google Mapmaker->Browse->Places.
  • Process images via color thresholding (buildings are red, everything else is greyish).
  • Determine polygon coordinates from pixels that represent building (require pixel->GPS_lat/long conversion).

OpenStreetMaps is backup solution if Google Mapmaker scraping doesn't work.

Alec is familiar with LCD driver (ILI9340) of the LCD we are considering, and has a similar LCD that we can prototype on.

Completed Action Items:

  • Storage of objects to generate on wiki (Alec Green) -> See Wiki Page

Action Items:

  • Tutorial on LaTeX (Stephen Ellis)
  • XBee Testing with 900MHZ (Thor Smith)
  • Write script to parse google maps and return coordinates of obstacles (Alec Green)
  • Determine Orientation of user head and GPS (Stephen Carlson)
  • Simple Models in Blender (Stephen Ellis)
