As you can read from the title the DaRen project has been successfully completed and that is great news, we think! But, how did it get so far the last few days? Wednesday, as mentioned in the previous blog post, would be testing day to look at the performance of our application. This was planned for the afternoon... As you can guess, we did not make this deadline, because that day there was a complete electronic shutdown at the campus of the Wuhan university. So, that was it for our planning so far. We went to the museum right away instead of going there only in the afternoon, because in the museum we had access to electricity and internet. So, there we were, sitting on different benches spread throughout the museum in the corridors because there were only a few electricity sockets. Also, the internet connection was very unstable. Summing this up, you can say that this were not the ideal working circumstances. Therefore, we could not test the whole application that afternoon, but we were able to test the localization part of our application. That day we decided to continue our work on the application Thursday morning at the campus (electricity was back up) and we would go to the museum at 14:30 latest to test our application. So, the application had to be finished before that time. The next morning, we worked really hard to let all the different components of our system work together and at 14:15 it worked! Just before the deadline :). The test at the museum went great and we made a really nice video of our application in action. We hope to provide you these videos when we are back in the Netherlands.
In the evening we went to dinner with Edward, because the next day he would leave and return to the Netherlands. We would also like to thank Edward here for his guidance, support and presence throughout the project! So now you think, that had to be a great and never-ending party after such a successful day. Well...not quite. The diner was really good, Chinese hotpot, but after diner we still had to work on our presentations for the next day. And I think it says enough that we were kicked out of the building in the evening, because they wanted to close...
On Friday, we gave our final presentation to the Liesmars staff and people involved in the DaRen project from the Wuhan University. This presentation was basically the final thing we had to do for our project in Wuhan. Now we only have to write and finish our report when we are back in the Netherlands and prepare for the symposium for which an official announcement will be made the next weeks. After the presentation we organized a lunch with the staff of Liesmars to close our project in Wuhan. We thanked the people of Wuhan University for their cooperation and their willingness to help us with this project and as a token of our appreciation we had some presents for them (stroopwafels, Dutch peppermint, "kruidnoten", Delft blue "klompjes" etc.).
The next days (Saturday, Sunday and Monday), we have a trip planned to Zhangjiajie were we can free our minds a little bit after this hardworking couple of weeks. I would suggest you all Google Zhangjiajie and see for yourselves why we are going there. I think it is enough when I say that the creators of the movie Avatar used this environment for their movie. After this trip we will spend one more night in Wuhan before we go back to the Netherlands on Tuesday 21:00 hours local time. We will arrive in Amsterdam at 06:50 local time where we can rest a little bit from our exhausting trip before going back to work at the end of the week to finish our report! Perhaps we will still have some spare time on Tuesday to tell you about our small trip and otherwise you will hear from us again from the cold and wet Netherlands! For now, we will still enjoy the 30 degrees Celsius here :).
