Weekly update 5

COMPLETED:

1) Tried out the face detection application (week 4)

2) Able to extract silhouette of the person by image differencing (week 4)

3) Experimented on the haartraining application of openCV for object detection the "I" sign used for our pattern card. Able to train sample pictures and successful convert trained data into xml format using cascade2xml.exe. Testing result still not satisfactory. See below.

TODO:

1) Thoroughly train actual pictures of different size/color/distance away from the a few users. Ensure the program can accurately detect the pattern.

2) Do comparision of the pattern card and the silhouette of the person get estimate of the body measurement.
