Trunk Tetris

This was a project for the marketing department of a major car manufacturer. The goal was an app that aids the user in packing the trunk of their car.

Using models and measurements of the actual cars from the manufacturer, the user could select his model, and subsequently scan objects they want to put in the car (using the phone's camera), or alternatively enter their measurements manually. The app would then calculate an optimal strategy of packing the trunk of the car, and instruct the user step-by-step to pack them into the car.

In this project, I was responsible for all algorithmic challenges. Firstly, I was responsible for the bin packing algorithm, developing the optimal strategy to pack the packages into the trunk and outputting them in sequence. Secondly, I was responsible for the image processing part, fusing the motion sensors of the phone with the camera to get approximate measurements of objects the user scanned.
