Welcome to Earlham CS Senior Capstone Experience.

The new (or should I say, old) Kinect finally arrived today, and plugging it into one of the USB 2.0 ports gives me the following USB devices: Bus 001 Device 008: ID 045e:02bf Microsoft Corp. Bus 001 Device 038: ID … Read More

I spent this week charting out ER diagrams for a Facebook database schema. A lot of this work involved converting DDL statements I found online into a class diagram, and understanding how the classes related to each other. I am … Read More

Catching up after traveling last week, I focused mostly on procedural bits for the project: opening an Overleaf project for the paper and getting the formatting/section headers right, researching Chrome extensions, and drawing some diagrams (about which more later). I … Read More

I have begun work on testing how long it takes ffmpeg to compress certain files, and how effectively it compresses files at certain key frame sizes. I have also been working on compiling the program’s source code so I can … Read More

Currently working on tagging the individual data fields in each message entry, and saving the newly tagged tweets to a new directory.

Made progress towards getting OpenCV to compile sample code.

While I am waiting for the Kinect to arrive in the mail, hopefully by tomorrow, I have been planning out the structure of my program and what exactly it is going to do. More will be added and revised as … Read More

Working with the AIML tutorial at https://playground.pandorabots.com/en/tutorial/.

continued work on measuring voltage on arduino

After further researching open-source projects and tools that are available to me, I have decided that I will instead focus on ffmpeg.  It is similar to Xvid in the sense that it is an open-source project that provides codecs for … Read More

I played around with Wikitude and Vuforia SDKs and tested the sample examples that they gave. The next step would be testing how well each platform can recognize the target image. I have talked with Xunfei about how I should test … Read More

Researched methods for voltage and current monitoring with Arduino and further experimented with Arduino programming on existing sensors.

Never done it before, but Google’s guide here is a good start. I was traveling late last week with some Physics research students, so my accomplishments for this project this time around are sparser than in the past. I’ll sit down … Read More

Thanks to Charlie, I added a 2-slot PCI Express USB 3.0 Card into the PC, and now instead of these devices from the Kinect: Bus 001 Device 006: ID 045e:02c4 Microsoft Corp. Bus 001 Device 003: ID 045e:02d9 Microsoft Corp. … Read More
