summary of week2

The project had a profound improvement in week 2--the car can be controlled by Matlab to track a red item. We were so excited!
In deatail,
1. Matlab programming: can realise the basic tracking process such as track one red item
2. Arduino: can be controlled by the Matlab well
3. Car :cam turn itself under the instruction of Arduino output
4. The blog was updated

Figure 1 shows the Matlab programming language of camera control.

Figure 2 shows the Matlab programming language of red item detecting.

The problem we met:
1. The roate speed of the car controlled by Arduino should be modified and improved.
2. The car cannot roate with an axis centre.
3. The system should realise the trajectory prediction

The action for next week:
1. Improve the Matlab to control the car rotate with and axis centre.
2. Change the structure of connection between the Arduino and wheels.
