156B Week 6

Overview of Status of Analysis, Design, Fabrication, Tests, etc.

• • Optics System (in progress)

    • Creating a list of potential lenses and optical elements appropriate for the lens system (Winnie, Zijun)

  • Hardware (waiting for optics)

    • Once the list of components of the optical system is finalized, we can finalize the housing for that system (Andy, Winnie)

    • Have a list of most of the parts required and order information.

  • Smartphone App (in progress)

    • Looking into an effective way to integrate C code into Android

Accomplishments from Previous Week

• • Revisited desired magnification calculation and three lens design. Found out that there were some errors which lead to us finding out that the magnification we need is 2-3x. This makes our problem a lot more manageable! (Winnie, Zijun)

  • Look around at optics suppliers, and found some appropriate lenses which will be used in our design. Now is a matter of inputting the lenses back onto Zemax, determining the performance, and making any necessary modifications (Winnie, Zijun)

  • Smartphone App (Andy, Mihir)

    • Camera permissions issue fixed. Allows the user to accept/discard pictures taken.

    • Used MATLAB Coder to translate MATLAB code to C

  • Image Processing (Andy, Mihir)

    • Changed MATLAB code to take image inputs and output a masked image

Goals for Next Week (list names after each item). Use specific and measurable objectives.

• • Finalize list of items to purchase, and start purchasing items (Winnie, Zijun)

  • Revisit housing design, determine if there is any custom parts necessary (Andy, Winnie)

  • Smartphone App (Andy, Mihir)

    • Embed the current C code into Android to test

  • Image Processing (Andy, Mihir)

    • Write code for image cropping of the masked image
