Assignment agony
Couldn’t get to sleep again, but ended up getting some sleep afterwards. I woke up around 1.45, got up and did some emails. Went outside and took some pictures for Photography, then packed up and headed in to Uni (after offloading the images), taking more pictures outside the CSE building, then going up to my office and offloading them, setting up everything with Angelina etc. After that I took the camera equipment around to Nate’s office in EE, since he needed the camera after me.
Back at the office I was agonizing over my Vision assignment. I can’t even get the basic detection to work, which means I can’t even get to the implementations of the rest of my ideas for the feature descriptors and the like. Basically this means I’m going to get next to nothing for this assignment because I have no working code, no data to compare, nothing. This means my report will be very, very bare. I then spent some time working with the graphics and photos I had taken to try and make some sense of them and make some progress with that assignment. Seems ok, I should be able to come up with something useful for that, although I’m not sure where I’m going to find the time to do the renderings. Aseem (the TA for the course) said we could utilize a script to get the servers to do it for us, but he hasn’t posted that yet so I’m going to be doing the renderings individually I guess.
I also did a little updating work as a distraction method from my assignments. Nothing particularly fancy, so it was somewhat relaxing. I kept working on my Vision assignment and ultimately got myself nowhere. I went to bed and watched a little television to unwind. Didn’t manage to get to sleep for ages again… couldn’t stop my brain thinking about things.
It’s very frustrating feeling like a total moron.
