Week 2
 

 

1.  Paperwork status
Stephanie sent the papers but she doesn't know if they went through already.

2. Write tutorial for the IQeye camera
The tutorial was changed and it uses the requested format

3. Tutorial should discuss resolution of the IQeye compared to today's digital cameras and camcorders. Compare with actual photos/videos e.g. use license plate as an example. What's the distance before it becomes visible?
I compared 3 different images that were capture using different cameras. I couldn’t
talk about the digital and optical zoom of each of the cameras because I didn’t have that information. Would you like me to spend some time finding them and discuss the features, of each camera, on the website. http://www.pages.drexel.edu/~sis26/cameras%20resolution.htm

3. Show examples of using Photoshop to zoom. Does license plate become visible? Is pixellation poor?
All images were zoomed and cropped to have a better view of the license plate. The only one that was good without any zooming was the image obtained from the camcorder. I think the IQeye has very poor resolution, but it does have its advantages.

4. Discuss ways to make camera work on wireless network
Would you like me to discuss this in detail on the website?
I don’t have much experience with wireless hardware but my guess is that if you don’t
require any drivers or software, you could connect the IQeye directly to the hub and it
should work. I read the manual of IQvision but they don’t mention anything about making
the camera wireless. I sent them an email asking them but they haven’t replied. They do
have one with a wireless option though.

5. Mosaicking
The tutorial was easy to follow and has all the necessary information. Are you sure you
want me to write another one? I was thinking it is probably better to explain what is
happening behind the m files. You can see the results of my mosaicking at
