Light reflection geometry model:
In the above image, the light blue rotations are theta_wx and red rotations are theta_wy. In this lego model, theta_wx is in the opposite direction to figure 8a in the paper. My collegue's Chewbacca was particularly interested in geometry so flew over to check it out.
The software was originally written with the following versions of code and libraries:
- anaconda v4.11.0
- python v3.8.5
- numpy v1.19.2
- matplotlib v3.3.2
- astropy v4.0.2 (doesn't come with anaconda installation)
- cv2 v4.4.0.46 (doesn't come with anaconda installation)
