When I came into the lab today I realized that was one thing that my program still couldn’t do, find the center of the pupil. When I discussed this issue before I was told I could do one of three things, research the Hough Circle transformation and try to implement it, use Aayush’s code or …

Today was the last day Jeff Pelz would be in the lab for a week so I spent this time to review both my program and presentation with him. When he was reviewing my code it was hard for him to understand due to me not using variable names that were easy to understand.Today was …

At the begening of today, I caught up on a lot of overdue blog posts and worked om my presentation that I will give in a week and two days. After I got all of this work out of the way I worked on geting my tortinal eye movement program to work with real eyes …

Today I wrote more lines of code than I have any other day in this internship. I started off talking with Dr.Pelz about ways to induce torsional eye movements. He stated that I could get ground truth manually from torsional eye movements so it would be okay to have the subject tilt their head. I …

The Undergrad research symposium was today! I was able to go to six presentations and lean a lot as well as continuing to manipulate images in OpenCV. The first three presentations I went to were all about neural networks and machine learning. These were a little hard to understand by I was able to learn …

I was able to get a lot of work done today! At the beginning of the day, I decided to put off working with open CV and put all my focus on filling out the datasheet I made the template for yesterday. Some small changes needed to be done to the math and the overall …

Today was disappointing. After completing the data set I mentioned from yesterday it was clear that changes needed to be made to the experiment. Multiple solutions were proposed, including using a different monitor and switching from Keynote to Python. We ended up using Python to control the slide changes but, continued to use the iPad. …
