There is a lot more work that can be done for this project. Especially for the BBC submission, I will have to put some more effort and time into it. That includes arranging meetings with Louise Angell (the BBC representative for the Leicester Big Screen) for the testing of the application on the actual Big Screen, but also a lot more technical work. The program needs to be optimised to the standards of the Big Screen and the camera input needs to be adjusted to work best with the code and the other way around.

Some ideas:

• Fix problem with resolution for the BBC submission. 4:3 or 16:9? Stretch 4:3 to 16:9 or get 16:9 from the camera and stretch to 4:3 and then back again?
• Optimise colours for all weather and light conditions, as these might be unpredictable
• Find best zoom, tilt and turn position of camera
• Decide on screening length and schedule the time for it to be shown with BBC

• Make the program visually more appealing, change colours, add random colours, etc
• Add glitter or puffy smoke when a ghost catches up to its owner
• Add a glow effect to the ghosts
• Make eyes of mini ghost turn with the ball itself
• Add a ghost texture to the mini ghost maybe
• Decide on a colour for the mini ghost

• Don't include shadows of the pedestrians in blobs
• Improve performance of the application
• Stop blobs from merging with each other when they get close
• Combine all centroids of one blob into one continuous line

• Write a narrative for the BBC submission
• Think about a Halloween theme maybe

• Add sound effects!!!

There will also be a demonstration of my project in our next showcase beginning of October, for which I will have to set it up in the IOCT Lab, which has different requirements and settings than the Big Screen of course. It will be in the inside of a room instead of in open air, which will likely change my threshold setup. Also the camera will be much closer to the people passing by, so that needs to be taken into account. Maybe this showcase can be used as an opportunity to demonstrate my project to my supervisors as well.
