I went out Friday night, and Saturday night. Today is Sunday and looks like I will go out again. Hopefully not until the morning this time ! Tomorrow, Monday, is a holiday, it would be nice, for a change to wake up earlier than 1PM and see some sunlight.
At the same time, I wish I could program something !
As far as Aibo goes, I found out that the framerate of the video stream improves dramatically if I switch the dog in full-control mode. I suspect that’s due to the fact that in full-control mode, the dog’s CPU isn’t busy with animating it, so it’s free to encode and send videoframes as fast as possible.
In any case, the next step is going to be image noise reduction. If I don’t do that, contrast and brightness improvements will only enhance the noise artifacts.
Also today I had a friend coming visit with his wife and young daughter. She enjoyed the dog, although wasn’t incredibly fascinated by it. Aibo is definitely not as lively as a real dog 8)
