• working on stereo
• no new results because of a report that was due last week
• working on handling non-text regions next(i.e. images)

• still working debugging the testing machine.
• removed most of the test images, but some images take more than 24 hours to generate a PDF.

structured light (Zeshan)

• current RGB pattern can be occluded and in this case the algorithm can produce bad results
• implementing more robust pattern detection that doesn't have this problem.

Decapod Webapp

• Import page is basically up and running, it will upload files to the server and store them on the file system named with UUIDs
• Beginning to start the Image Management page, Currently working on rendering and reordering the thumbnails.
