Ryan Ludt Week #9

This past week was spent working on finishing up the last bit of the sending view code and connecting the dots there. Now we have a fully functioning sending view that sends the Morse code message using the flashlight, given a time interval for each Morse code unit. We are now all working on the image processing portion of the receiving end of the application. We have discovered that light recognition to a camera is not as simple as just detecting whether a light is on or off, but instead it is detecting changes in the temperatures of the pixels in each frame to see whether the flashlight of the sending device is on or off.

We are working to access the frame buffer and check to see in each frame whether or not we are detecting such changes in temperatures. We are still exploring the option (if possible) of being able to access all this during a live video feed, rather than recording a video and then accessing the frame buffer. That is our goal for the remainder of this week.
