Meeting Notes 2

Meeting with the Client:

- We are doing well -> we're on the right track with brainstorming.
- Interested in metatagging and assigning attributes to objects (in both images and sounds)
- In terms of defining the orientation of objects in pictures can go beyond just faces -> it can be used for architecture, cars, and other everyday objects to inform an image recognition software.

~ We could have a searchable database of images or videos; after teaching the software, we could then call up all instances of an object (like a telephone).
~ Identification of objects is key
~ Could narrow database to surveillance footage and have people identify what (who) is in it.

- In terms of tagging emotions/feelings in sounds, we could potentially tag the emotion in a voice clip.
- Not as interested in traffic flow problems, but they could have some potential -> just need to find a better optimization problem if this is the path we want to explore.
- We can define classes of objects -> can the player outline the object and then we extract the object?
- Glyph recognition -> we could then identify objects and replace them in an image with something else, or remove them entirely

~ Divide the image up into a grid - each player gets only a small piece

- The traveling salesman problem is a high-risk path to take, but with a potentially huge payoff

To Do:
- Deliverable: Write up in detail all the brainstorming and explain why we chose the path we chose.
- Categorize the ideas we've had so far

~ Look further in depth at some of the ideas we've had relating to image processing
~ Research more potential problems, potential games, etc...
