Emily Yu Williams College Class of 2011 Email Me Home

My first week here in my DMP Mentoring program at Boston University was one that was marked with frustration and stress. When I arrived, I found that I was unable to get a BU ID to get swipe access to the research lab I was supposed to work in. This also meant that I could not readily get an account on the computers in the lab. In fact, it took all week to get everything set up. I was given a key (a metal one) to the lab, and eventually got a guest account to the computers. Once I got this account, I found that I did not have the proper privileges to connect to the research servers.

Due to these setbacks, I spent the entire week reading articles on the various projects that the different teams at BU were working on. I got myself acclimated to the background of Computer Vision, learned a little bit about Bat Tracking, and read about the ways that the Camera Mouse was designed and evaluated. At the end of the week I decided to join the Camera Mouse team.
