Aiming to be as accessible and aesthetically pleasing as possible, the additional design challenges in this have been incredibly interesting. This week we also made some very productive changes to the testing setup, opting to use a flexible phone holder to align the camera instead of mounted 80\/20. This has allowed for greater\u00a0versatility\u00a0and simplicity in testing.

We added some testing\u00a0functionality\u00a0so the user can test the IR beam. We also added an ability to choose which direction the mouse enters from so holes from either side can be measured.\u00a0We also tested that the data was saved to an external USB drive and the data could be accessed on other devices. We added\u00a0a\u00a0logo as well. After review from our\u00a0liaison, it seems like the GUI is almost finished. We have a few more minor adjustments (adding a\u00a0failsafe\u00a0start, adding detailed text directions,\u00a0finished\u00a0logo) and it will be finished.\u00a0Check out our video below! [Note: The actual recording of footage cannot\u00a0be seen by the\u00a0screen recorder, but the user can see the video being recorded.\u00a0However, the recorded video is opened and played towards the end of the video\u00a0to show that it was saved correctly.]\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"GUI test 2021 03 10 23 07 28\" width=\"788\" height=\"591\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/rEVAObts_Ts?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Our cameras do not allow us to be very up close to the mice, so it\u00a0must\u00a0be distanced from the window to get good quality frames to analyze. The drawback of this is hole detection becomes much harder since the frame contains a lot of outside noise that could interfere with the image analysis. To mitigate this, we plan on have fixed positions in a frame that will be cropped beforehand to eliminate anything that is not the reference hole or the mouse ear.\u00a0This will make the image analysis more accurate since there are no other factors in the frame that can be picked up by our program.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week, we continued work on the\u00a0prototype.
