Avoidance

I'm getting some fairly consistent results with object detection (see attached screenshots). I'm wondering if anyone has any images where there is a monsterborg in front by 1-2m, but over to the left or right enough that by going straight forward they would pass without colliding? I've collected plenty of collision images :)

Or, if Arron & Tim have time could you provide a few images like that.

I'm trying to define the white box as an unsafe area where if a monsterborg is detected in there then some avoidance is needed, but outside of the box it's safe to proceed in the current direction.

The green box is what the image detects as a car, the red dot is the middle of green bounding box and the white box will be the "unsafe area". My aim is to check if the red dot is inside the white bounding box and move accordingly.

Photos

You are welcome to all the photos I have if you don't mind picking out the ones you want. You can use the link below to access my Google Drive and download the photos or the zipped log files from challenge rounds 1 and 2 and race 1 of this season. I'll upload my race 2 photos to the same folder after I get the logs from the Formula Pi team. Best of luck fine-tuning your code.

Thanks

Thanks! I'll take a look through them. Good luck in the race this week.

Race two last season for us was quite crashy. Whether we were responsible for it being so crashy I can't comment. But here I've got a sequence of many tiny images which might help. Zipfile attached below.

Thanks

Thanks Pico. I didn't see any images in that set that I'm looking for, but I did run my monster detection against them and got some good results. It's great to test it against a set of images that I didn't use to train it. It proves its actually working and not just remembering it's training. I didn't have it ready in time for submission for the next race, but it should be ready for the next challenge round.

MonsterBorg detection

It is great to see some of the development that is going on with the avoidance code this season :)

We have been really busy this week, but I think I can find some time next week to get some images for you which would do the job.

In the meanwhile I wonder if there are any images which have what you are after in this set: MonsterBorg driving around obstacles.

In the longer term it would probably be a good idea if we collect all of the image sets which have been shared along with some additional images for strange situations to build up a library of test images for people to develop with.

Image Set

Thanks Arron, I completely forgot about that image set. It does have some images that are pretty close to what I'm looking for. If it's not too much trouble and you have time, a few images where the mosterborgs are set in lanes at various distances would be a huge help is defining the area in which to check.

My avoidance code is coming together, but there is still some work to be done. It still likes to trigger on the logos on the wall sometimes!

I like the idea of an image library. It would be a great resource for everyone. Let us know how we can help.
