Goals
From SpaceElevatorWiki.com
Vision:
- Get Intel code compiling on Ubuntu and into a Mercurial tree. (20 hours)
- Hook up .Net wrapper to Intel vision code. (10 hours)
- Create / find a 2-frame GUI tool which takes a picture and applies appropriate Intel code to it and displays an output image (40 hours)
- Call the Intel code to generate simple analysis. (40 hours)
- Hook the input of vision recognition to the output of the 3-D engine! (40 hours)
Driving:
- Get Torcs compiling on Ubuntu and in a Mercurial tree (10 hours)
- Create a C# wrapper for the Torcs world and driving APIs (100 hours)
- Port smart clean baseline driving code to C# (100 hours)
- Test it and stress it by creating various terrain. (40 hours)
- Hook the output of the vision recognition into the input of the driving engine! (40 hours)
Debugging features:
- hook the output of the vision recognition into the input of the 3-D engine, by creating ghost images.)
- Ability to log all changes to the world including results of vision analysis, so that we can replay to figure out what happened.
Later Goals
- Add other features like waypoints, stopsigns. (Someone else doing this we should hook up with)
- Evaluate better & more professional-looking 3-D and physics engines
