Optimization Project and Continuing Work on Pilot Codebase

I’m looking into wedging some lab work into my optimization class project; it seems like I’ll get something together, but I’m not quite sure what yet.  The full problem may be too large a space, but we may end up with the ability to describe limits given some set of points, or evaluate the quality of some candidate correspondences, etc.  I’m fairly sure I can solve at least the simple base-case version; I suspect I’ll need something more complex for the project itself.

Work also continues on the pilot code.  I worry I’m getting bogged down in development niceties; while it would be nice to have pretty code I can use quickly in the future, even an ugly pilot gives data.

I’ll dust off some old Ogre code and see if it can quickly adapted to this  pilot.  If so, the pretty code can be worked on in parallel with running the pilot.
