October 27th 2014

Important info The captain of the team from now on is Nico Boh. He will now act as a middle hand between the competition staff and the team. Questions regarding the competition will go through him now.

Check if Cruisin’ Moose name is completely available, to reduce future problems. Logo must be visible and able to be printed on T-shirts. Also check with Anneli how to use the logo from Chalmers, and the technical constraint for the website. Posters should be ready for the conference in Stockholm. (Nico)

All: Pictures of you or your teammates working on the car project, please share it before Thursday. Read the frames categories’ definitions to understand when the algo fails.

Inspection group: Check weaknesses of the current algorithm and when it is doing most mistakes. (Johan, Sauluis, Victor, Hao, Johan and Stefania).

HW group: start building the car. The group is allowed to use parts from the Tetrix’s car to build the new one.

To do before next Monday meeting:

  • Find the frequency for the car. (Andy) (Done)
  • Definitions of frames: 4 categories, true-positive, true-negative, false-positive, false-negative. (Johan, Saulius) (Done)
  • Divide the 3.600 frames into the different categories. (Johan, Sauluis, Victor, Hao, Johan and Stefania) (Done)
  • New recording after 6 pm, to get less distortion from the camera. (Hao) (Done)
  • Image extraction in a separate program getting CSV data. (Johan, Sauilius, Yohannes)
  • Set up a computer to automatically test new git uploads of the lanedetector and compare the result to the old ones. (Johan, Saulius, Yohannes, Victor and Stefania, together with Christian)
  • Check what is missing from the legendary car to run. (Carl and Olof)
  • Check the structure from other team’s presentation. What topics are relevant to talk about in our presentation? (Carl and Nico)

October 20, 2014

ToDo list as decided today:

All: make some pictures or videos in decent image quality of you or some other teammates while working. If you have already have something, please share it :)

HW: A functional car with sensors integrated, boards installed, cards installed will be delivered by next week.

Algo:

  1. Fixing OpenCV Version (flags,...), make remote control work with legendary car.

  2. simulation envirnoment:get the virtual test track ready.

Interface and Recording: Keep up with interface and recording. Note: Differences between SD and emmc for our intended purpose have ben emphasised

Tasks:

1)Identify any special scenarios to cover - without markings etc, here is a generic list suggested by Christian:

  • straight road/lane markings on both sides
  • left curves/both lane markings
  • right curve/both lane markings
  • intersection/no stop line
  • intersection/stop line
  • in front of start line
  • any scenario from before but with missing lane markings (also partially overlapping for both sides)

2)Need to test the code for storing data from sensors, Also if we have odometer saved.(Ashfaq)(Done)

3)get to drive the car with the remote control, or via the keyboard.(Andy)(Done)

4)Find an optimized way to make this quick(Copying a few GB from the card over SCP will consume time ) Taking the SD card out is not an option I suppose as it is on the under side of the ordroid board. Plan to get it working over the network(Malli)(Done)

Orga / Multimedia: Until next week, the homepage will be available. The trip to the fare in Stockholm has to be organized and prepared. The Carolocup registration will be prepared as well as this wiki will be updated with contact details of the team members.(Done)

October 13, 2014

  1. As a summary it is required to know where the lane detector algorithm fails before the next meeting on October 20th. For doing that,

    • Do the software interface to the camera and sensors needs to moved to proxy for recording (Ashfaq, Malli, Brian)(Done)
    • Plan and conduct the recording for different scenarios (Andy, Martin, Malli, Hao)(Done)
    • Have the shared memory interface in the current lane-detector version (Andy, Ashfaq, Hao, Martin, Malli, Brian)(Done)
    • Replay and inspect the recording to find the flaws in the lane detection algorithm (Victor,Yohannes, Johan, Saulius)(Done)
  2. Bring the memory card/adapter, safety foam, obstacle boxes (Nico)

    • Clone the car disk in a memory card (Brian)(Done)
  3. Get the remote control for the legendary car up and running (Carl)(Done)

  4. Come up with the ideas for the team name, logo design, theme etc before next meeting so that we can use it at the conference in Stockholm.

    • Do the travel plan and make the presentation(Nico) (Done)
