Week 11 Day 5

Glad its a Friday again : )

Today I switch my programming task with my partner, and currently I will be working on the multi threading feature of the rubic cube instead. One interesting thing I found out was that C++ does not allow reading from camera in threads other than the main thread. As such, what I am implementing now would be to place the reading of the camera frame in a infinite loop (till the user press 'q' for quit) in the main method, and it is working successfully.

In order for the reading of the camera to a frame to work successfully in a loop with other threads sharing the frame, I have to implement variables to ensure that when the frame is captured, the other threads will read the frame before allowing the frame to be replaced with a new frame.

Today was also the day where Kevin would be leaving Singapore and returning on January. Manage to see Kevin for the last time this year at 3pm, but didn`t manage to say much. If you are reading this, I would wish you to say thanks for your guidance and advice all along, it is because of you that our internship was a great and fun one ! Haha, and I will ensure when you come back to January, my presentation will be 200 times better than how I presented previously.


==========Reflection of the week ===============

This week seems to pass quickly as most of the time was spend on programming. However, I have learned and implemented turning of the rubic cubes, gained knowledge of problems when multi threading is used for reading a frame from camera, and also on my weakness and strengths in presentations.

Probably I have realised in many things I do, I still do the same old mistakes, and that was due to lack of practice. Certainly I believe I can improve on these, and I will be attempting from now on to change these
