Development

For the initial prototype, we had written the code such that it could detect a fixed object. This had allowed for the camera to measure the distance of the object from the lens, which had formed the foundation of our subsequent codes

As the objective of the luggage was to follow a person around, we had to provide it with a means of tracking them and expecting someone to constantly hold onto something was not feasible. Hence, we decided to use colour detection instead. The colour should not be too common – such as black and white, such that it can be seen frequently and hence we chose to use maroon.
