Ebbinghaus Reader : THE PLAN


Yesterday (27th June 2013), we worked on the skeleton and the architecture of the Ebbinghaus Reader. We created a rough sketch connecting all the activities in the app. This is how it looks!




We have sketched schematic diagrams for each and every Activity with more detail on control flow. Selva is working on digital schematic diagrams for all activities, lets hope he completes it soon!

Too Much of Life

For the past 2 weeks or so, there's been too much life not much linux.

My updates:

 -- installed tesseract OCR engine in Fedora  ( from repo )
     -  works on *.tiff images but not for png
     -  tried installing libpng, png dev libraries - nope - nothing
     -  even while "ocr"-ing some tiff images - fails horribly



-- working on Sudoku grabber app in Android
     -  inspired by [ http://www.aishack.in/2010/08/sudoku-grabber-with-opencv/ ]
     -  following this guide
        [ http://gaut.am/making-an-ocr-android-app-using-tesseract/ ]
         for porting tesseract engine to Android

Thy shall fly




planned to make my first flying bot next week - uses android smartphone as brain - uses camera to capture and stream live video - the video is viewed and bot is controlled from another android device (my tablet) via sshd - connected thro wifi - the body is hollow - simple light weight dc motor used - the plan is just rough - need to do research on design of flying bots - img proc can be done = fun - to be continued...

Android based HUD





i hav a really cool idea - a hud display using android phone - an app that uses camera to display the env before us in a transformed way such that even placed close to eyes we cld see that - finds all objs and faces in the frame - draws rectangles around them with an id num as1 2 3 - we use speech recog - so we just say the num and it zooms in and displays info bout that face or obj - the info is stored in local and remote db
synced @ free time - new objs and faces uploaded to remote in real time - 
info added @ remote and then synced...


how bout dat? - EOF
