Project Update for week of 2/8

During Friday's meeting we discussed several important aspects of the project. While Jianfei has made progress on the centerline extraction algorithm and sampling rates, I had been geo-referencing and preparing the new CAD files as well as updating the database to the new server (CCIS017).

This week I am tasked with completing the database upgrade as well as finally installing the phPhoneHome app so I can test the iPhone communications with our database server. Dr. KR also wanted me to develop a simple iPhone application that makes use of the UI for the iPhone and does some simple functions such as selecting polygons in OpenGL.

In order to do this I need to break apart the code that I currently have that is running the sample OpenGL app and make it render something related to the project. I am sure that I will have to enlist the help of Jianfei and maybe some other people to do this since I am not very good at programming in Objective C or using X-Code. I will try to blog my progress as the week goes on.

Iphone Programming resources

I have been tasked with creating an extension of our program to be used on the iPhone. I have looking around the web for tutorials and explanations on how to program using Cocoa Touch, Objective-C, and other tools. Here are some useful websites that I have discovered related to these topics:
