RoboVision: Codes for Visual Perception in RoboCon 2018

The ABU Robot Contest(ABU Robocon) is a contest for undergraduates across Asia to build robots from scratch and compete with each other teams. This repository contains code mainly related to visual perception modules on our robots.

Contents:

• 1. modules implementation
• 2. experiments
• 3. docs

Usage:

• prerequisites for running codes here:

• 1. Ubuntu 16.04 on your computer (except for the OpenCV Cascade Classifier Training code)
• 2. Python (recommend Anaconda2)
• 3. OpenCV >= 3.2.0 (ROS Kinetic comes with OpenCV 3.2.0dev version, that's OK)
• 4. ROS Kinetic (ROS version for Ubuntu 16.04, except for the OpenCV Cascade Classifier Training code)

• about cameras:

• most of the code here is tested on a normal web camera, final implementation most probably on Kinect2

• you have to install a ROS web camera driver first, if you want to reproduce the results.

Most Important:

• Enjoy your time with computer vision!
• Always remember to take a coffe break when tired with working!
