New mod found to work around Rogers 911 Emergency Upgrade! Thanks to the DroidX hacking community for this great find!
I have been playing with edge detection for a few weeks now, and slowly I’m gathering a solid knowledge base related to how to do object detection. Primarily I have been playing with facial recognition, but my end goal is to be able to track hands, for a virtual table PC, so that when I build my surface computer the adaption of the algorithms is easy. The goal is to use edge detection and to determine the shape of the enclosed object.
Well, it’s now been almost a month and a half at my co-op placement, and financially things aren’t going as well for me as originally planned. It has really put me in between a rock and a hard place, and thus I will have to postpone, currently indefinitely my touch table. That was a project I really wanted to do, but as it is, I’m barely able to afford groceries once a week, let alone rent coming up at the end of the month. I just hope things take a turn for the best soon, or I will be in some serious trouble.
I’m posting a few notes of projects that I’m working on, and design decisions that have come to mind in the past couple weeks. First off, exam season is finally over, meaning I’m back open to free thought! Well, I was before, but assignments and studying tend to encourage a one-track mind. Anyways, I have started developping a couple neat applications, both of them mostly for personal use but who knows. The source will come up this week, though not in its completed iteration.
