Objectives:
Something that hasn't been seen by consumers
80/20 rule on the algorithm- looking for a starting point and then allow for
tweaking
goal is to sell more products and provide a more “artistic” styling
5:10
1. Development of algorithm – requires a lot of research as well.
Automatic splitting of an image and then allow manual tweaks. If we
can get it working at least 20% of the time then that's a decent job
2. WPF- utilize this technology for future versions of the products and
possibly all future kiosks
Example- table and shelf where you pull images off the shelf and lay
them out on a table.
20
We have a choice WPF or Silverlight although it seems like they are
leaning towards WPF.
WPF has capabilities to provide iPhone like features.
ASSIGNMENT: Download and try out Microsoft Expression Blend Version

Further clarifications:
Algorithm –

not after amazing image quality improvements etc.
How well can it split is across the panes
A good start: 2 panes with image split
Apply general logic maybe split image in half
Must always allow configuration of the image by the user (zooming,
cropping, etc.)
Application-
5:30

15
Test application a proof of concept as a means to use the algorithm
and show off how it works. Used for unit tests rather than a full
fledged application.
Resources:
open cv- ideas for the design of the algorithm. Download Link:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/opencvlibrary/
A professor that we will be given contact information about.
5:45
5:55
Proof of concept application possibly doing some innovative 3D effects to help
move them into the next generation of graphics.
