Topic of the discussion

design decisions of several development aspects of the project and Requirements of the project

Brief Discussion of the discussion

In all our sessions with Chandana sir he emphasized the fact that the project we are doing is not just another programming project. Actually it is like a great chance we have given to try out the theoretical aspects of practical scenarios where Engineering concepts are governed. Since this a project carried out by final year under graduate students the standard of the project should be maintained at a certain level. In setting that standard certain aspects like Software Engineering, Engineering design and Engineering Economics have to take into consideration. And at the end of the day we should develop ourselves to a position where we can make design decisions by our own in terms of Engineering. As for the things need to carry out during next week Chandana sir ask us to come up with at least with five approaches to accomplish the task of 2D mapping to 3D. What he said was in selecting those approaches also they should be the best solutions which have been widely used, advanced and efficient. Along with those implementations we can just do test implementations and check whether they behave the way as it is expected. And other research area is to how the environment will react on the changes of the user. And another vital point made by the Chandana sir is to think about the end application at this stage of the development process itself. Although how much effort we have put in our project if the superficial appearance is not that appealing that would not attract the audience and our effort we have put in will not be not appreciated. So in a null shell the visual aspect is something which we can’t avoid and it should be treated with much care.  

Key topics discussed

1. Requirements of the project

2. things to carry out in next week

3. the state of end application

Comments and agreements

This week we agreed to use marker based system due the additional processing needed and the number of cameras that will be needed. What we decided was it should be a maximum of three preferably two.Finally Chandana sir assign each one with some research work for the week.
