Weekly Status:
This week our team has continued the implementation phase of ITS-Image Tracking System, software application. Our group is continuing to work on learning how to program in visual basic, how to utilize a shareware media player via visual basic scripting, and how to incorporate a MS Access database with a Visual Basic Program. This past week we have spent a great deal of time troubleshooting problems that we are having with our keystroke programming implementation. We have encountered a severe issue with the timing of a keystroke; in relation to its recording in the application database and the tagging of the video segment. Due to this problem we were not getting the application to record the exact moment the keystroke was entered by the user, causing our playback to be of footage that was different than that of the recorded statistic. To rectify this problem we have proposed using a time correction factor, which will take the average propagation delay of the user input, and correlate the time of the system with this correction, so that the necessary segment of video is played back. In order to come up with this factor we are going to use a few different speed computers, running our prototype application, and try to measure the average delay in keystroke input, to final capture in our software. Once this factor is discovered, we will have to recode part of the application.
