Week 1 Progress

Week 1 Goals

  • Getting OpenCV libraries compiling in VS 2010
  • Make more sense of the Binghamton database data and decide on which database to begin processing (Binghamton vs. UT Austin)
  • Begin to process the Binghamton database data
  • Start implementing the pre-processing step of the 3D Facial recognition algorithm

Week 1 Goals Accomplished

  • OpenCV compiling and running in VS 2010 (not using CMake)
  • Decided to begin processing on Binghamton database first
  • Able to read in and display BMP images using OpenCV, able to view VRML files with VRML viewers (for viewing point cloud data)

Road Blocks / Asides

  • Pre-processing step depends on reading in point cloud information which lies within VRML file. Realized we need to parse the VRML files (in progress)
  • Had some trouble viewing the VRML files
  • OpenCV and CMake

Week 2 Goals

  • Build VRML parser to extract point cloud data 
  • Begin pre-processing step of our algorithm (normalize face to postive z-axis)
