I&#8217;m not sure how much I&#8217;m contributing, because, at the moment, I&#8217;m at a bit of a loss as to what to do next.  We&#8217;ve hit a pretty major technical hurdle, and alot of it is dependent on a complex three-d rotation thingie (attempting to relate pixel coordinates to an absolute position and orientation in the outside world, no matter how the camera is moved, shaken, or rotated), that I neither took part it in the writing of, nor have the code for.  (and how do you deal with dangling participles in such a &#8216;neither\/nor&#8217; case other than completely recomposing the thought?  Dumb rule).  And, while I enjoyed the three-d, least squares math quite a bit, it is a distinct minority of the project, and, by and large, long past.  <\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s been interesting and educational to do the work in computer vision, but I think this project will mark the end of my involvement in this particular field.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the key things I didn&#8217;t mention either in my talk with Simon, or in my post related to it, is that I&#8217;m not just sitting at home jerking off.
