5/28
start and try to configure ChineseALPR on Linux following barath's paper
look into a convinient way to create an UI which can be easily inherited
Think of a easy way to use SAS to build a database( but this technic needs data to be in Excel file?)
5/29
keep configuring Chinese ALPR on Linux
encounterde path problem which leads to the failure of calling alpr function
Plan for next week
Keep working on configuring ALPR on Linux
If configure succeed, try to achieve communication between server and client camera
Talk to Chai Jixin and discuss about what project to do, try to invent new ideas
6/1
keep configuring openAlpr
looked for online instructions and followed online instructions to install openalpr, still failed
6/2
installing openalpr
emailed to Barath about this problem, still failed to solve the problem.
gave up...
6/3
study on remote control
archieve to remote control Rspi from Windows 7,
capture image from camera and save on local drive
6/4
met with Gixin Chai, she is learning python and opencv by reading the e-book.
I can either learn python with her or keep working on openalpr still don't know what kind of specfic project I am going to do.
archieve to log in Linux operating system(Rspi 2 /computers which have Linux in lab) through my own laptop
6/5
looked for interesting projects on youtube
Interests on Time lapse, Motion Detection
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZuHAfwZlzqY
Plan for next week
1. copy openalpr old version from Barath's computer and try to configure it again
2. try to develop something from remote control technic
3. look into time lapse motion detection, maybe it can be combined with openalpr to capture images from video
6/8
ssh (security shell), log in raspi, all the instructions are running on server, won't lost the informaiton if disconnected.
be able to share file with Rspi through WinSCP
be able to log in Rspi 2 from different platform: PC Ipad or Andriod smart phone
6/9
remote log in linux from ipad
troubleshooting openalpr installation
6/10
updated CMakeLists (wrong directory)
Finally Succeed install alpr on Ubuntu!!!!
6/11
configure Chinese version in openalpr
Problem:"No space left on device"when copy "src" from Chinese openalpr to openalpr
messed up with the Ubuntu root arthorities
6/12
fixing Ubuntu system
post online threads looking for help
6/13
try to build a VNC server on Win7 and remote log in through VNC Viewer on Ipad/Ipone
Plan for next week
1. reinstall Ye Gu's Linux system √
2. set up time lapse motion detection on Rspi
3. use liveCD backup and save Ye Gu's codes from computer and maybe reinstall the computer√
6/15
test and try to find the system partition of the computer, failed
make a bootable ubuntu live USB
failed to configure bootloader
6/16
watch tutorial and install Linux 14.04
pulled out one hard drive and successfully configure bootloader
successfully reinstalled Linux 14.04 on Ye Gu's computer
cleaned Ye Gu's desk
6/17
set video stream on raspi
6/18
configure remote desktop on Ubuntu 14.04
Rspi got compromised cannot reach internet
6/19
called IT department
unquarantined Raspi
work on video stream share with Windows folder
Plan for next week
1.try to set up openalpr on Ubuntu 14.04 and probably Chinese version too
2. keep setting up stream video and time lapse motion detection
6/22
configure wine on Ubuntu 14.04
share files between Ubuntu, windows, raspi
set up cygwin on Windows to use Linux functionalities and enable ssh
reinstalled Raspberrypi because of sending out spam
6/23
set up Openalpr chinese version on Ubuntu 14.04
成功排错！！！！更改"openalp.conf.in"中 runtime_dir 为 "runtime_data"的绝对路径，运行指令由“alpr -c ch --config openalp.conf.in -n 30 -p ch image0.JPG“ 改为”alpr -c ch --config openalp.conf.in -n 30 -p ch image0.JPG”
summuary:
vital features of setting up:
1. use whole folder "openalpr-master" replace "openalpr"
2. delete "./src/build" and then build again
3. configure runtime path in "openalpr.conf" or put runtime_data follow the path of environment variable.
4. update runtime_data
5. put "openalp.conf.in" under the same folder of current directory(which you are running alpr)
:)
6/24
installed and configured "motion" which has some problem with B+, cannot turn on the camera after boot or start motion.
learn netcat
6/25
used socket successfully to build a socket connection between Ubuntu and raspi
achieve to keep server listening and accept message from pi
Tomorrow: send file from raspi
6/26
set up socket server
server.java/ client.java
able to send any file from raspi to Ubuntu server
automatically take picture and send image to server
Plan for next week
make it automatically run openalpr to process the image passed from client and send the result back to server.
testing openalpr on server
pick up time lapse motion detection, try to fix the camera problem
6/29
archieved to process pics without typing other commands on openalpr
Ubuntu runs server_auto, raspi runs client_takepic
save the openalpr result locally
6/30
use socket.shutdownOutput() archieve half close socket connection to transfer file bi-directionally
adjust client_local: use head parameter "args[]" to get process image which is preparing for bath method later on.
(image has to be named *.JPG) CAPITALIZUED!
7/1
configure VM on cloud,
cannot ping to ASCC cloud coz router is not plugged in Lab 304

set up time lapse motion detection on rspi _ can be used for car plate capture, but image doesn't have high resolution
also, pi camera is on all the time which is kind of wasting power
got another chip with camera from Dr.Sheng which is cheaper and easier to expand it's usage
Plan for next week
1. find a manul online for the new small chip I got and set up picture taking and sending on it
2. look into openAlpr and modify the code to get better results
3. look into motion detection and try to upgrade its feature.
