Goals

Milestone 1 Goals

Misc: (Keith)

• Setup wiki
• Setup Mercurial
• Port C++ Mono/Torcs wrapper layer to Linux
• Come up with a list of hard problems for everyone (in progress)

Vision: (Aleks)

• 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 various Intel code to it and displays an output image (40 hours)
• Write some code to generate simple analysis of 3-D location other objects using GUI tool to help find the right constants. (100 hours)
• Provide an API to on-demand take an image and return analysis to driving engine. (40 hours)

Driving: Wolf Dieter

• Port Torcs robot written in Delphi to C# (100 hours) [1]
• Call vision code at appropriate times (20 hours)

World Simulator (Jeko)

• Get a slimmmed Torcs compiling on Ubuntu Linux and in a Mercurial tree (10 hours)
• Planning: OSG versus Ogre, C# linear algebra code, Torcs roadmap, etc., etc.
• Provide a C# API to create screenshots for vision code (20 hours)
• Build ways for us to run tests in one click of a listbox or a command-line. (20 hours) This can wait till Ogre if we want to do it in using a C# GUI. What one do we use?

Later Goals

• Plug in Ogre
• Plug in Open Dynamics Engine
• Ability to log all changes in C# to the world including results of vision analysis, so that we can replay to figure out what happened.
• hook the output of the vision recognition into the input of the 3-D engine, by creating ghost images.
• Write C# HasCrashed() function so that we know we have a bug in our driving or vision code.
• Add other features like waypoints, stopsigns. (Someone else doing this we should hook up with [2])
