Inspiration

We wanted to do something with a UI that incorporated other fields of study as well (mathematics, photography, etc.)

What it does

It estimates the height of an object using the height of 2 other known objects as references.

How we built it

We used Java and JFrame components for the UI and a separate calculation class that included concepts from Calculus III and Linear Algebra

Challenges we ran into

Importing pictures and resizing them was extremely difficult. The algorithm to calculate the height also required a great deal of thought.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

It was a success! It works really well.

What we learned

How to use various components of JFrame, how to import and resize pictures, and how to apply concepts from higher mathematics to real problems

What's next for Height Estimator

Make a more robust algorithm so it can deal with non flat surfaces
