Previous Week:
Submitted revised version of FLAIRS paper including corrections and improved experimentation.
Finished world component models and looked into lighting.
Implemented fine grain decompositions(sub 1 spacial unit object size) and layed ground work for variable growth step size
Generated navigation mesh for test world.
Currently Working on:
Finishing Proposal document
—Introduction is getting close to done
—Related works is coming along I had to do an extended literature search from a computational geometry perspective and found a large number of additional sources to look at.
Finish wiring interface for DEACCON
Geometric combining
3D validation and verification of results.
Generate ramp structure for Fritz to use to create more interesting levels.

Previous Week:
Nailed down design for FLAIRS paper motivation and experiment.
Constructed Several Block World components.
Implemented C++ version of dynamic rebuilding of decomps (in progress eta today)
Expanding visualizer to show agent movement and discovery of block world components, also enhanced visualizer with better exception handling.
Finished some typed proofs for Dr. Barnes – still have a few chapters to type up.
Planned Work
Complete and Run FLAIRs paper experiment target Wednesday
Finalize dissertation committee and submit first set of paperwork – target Wednesday
Filled in Dissertation outline – target required for finalization of committee members.
More proofs for Dr. B
Draft of FLAIRS paper target Friday
Interface work on DEACCON – target as time permits

ToDo:
DEACCON work – interface more granular loading of models features for FLAIRS papers
Committee and PhD proposal setup targeting week of December 7th
FLAIRS paper
Hyp: It is possible to discover a navigation mesh using information gained from one or more agents moving through the world.
Applications: Simulations of Search and rescue in unknown environments, more “fair” agents for games and simulations, others
Approach: Crib some of the D* working with unknown areas and combine that with dynamic rebuilding of decomps. Assume world is empty then rebuild when this assumption is invalidated.
Validation and Experimentation: Compare the error levels present in a agents generated decomposition (incorrectly classified space, missed gateways, average path lengths) to the “optimum decomposition” in a time lapsed manor. How quickly does agent discovery converge on optimum decomp?

It can be shown geometrically that the sum of the angles of all lines meeting at a point must be 360 degrees. I can show that every exposed corner in my application is either 90 degrees, or in the case of edge following regions will when added to the angle of the edge they are following be 180 degrees. This means I can prove an upper limit for regions coming together at a point of 4.
