The Semantic Robot Vision Challenge

NEWS

• Meetings are Fridays at, 11 am, in icics 146

Some Stuff

• The Rules page at CMU

• Dave Meger's whiteboard transcription subTasks.pdf

• Sequence from Bart right.mpg

• Stereo processing of sequence stereo.mpg

• Sample images from 1.3m height cat01.png heli03.png keg01.png robo03.png

• A data-set of 31 views of objects captured from Bart.
  • look under /lci/project/raid1/srvc/bumblebee1
  • frameXX_depth0.png Raw disparity image from PGR library
  • frameXX_depth.png Scaled disparity image to look at
  • frameXX_left.png Left frame 1024x768 RGB
  • frameXX_right.png Right frame 1024x798 RGB
  • Here is a composite showing these four images: bumblebee1_example.png

• Canon capture library at sourceforge: http://capture.sourceforge.net/
  • I've (Scott) installed the software and tried using it with my Canon A70. I haven't tried all the features, but it was fairly straightforward to zoom, use the flash, and capture and download a photo. Not wickedly fast though.

• An unintelligent Google image search shell script: fetcher.sh
  • Usage: ./fetcher "search string"
  • Examples:
    • To search for tiger: ./fetcher "tiger"
    • To search for tiger and woods: ./fetcher "tiger woods"
    • To search for the exact phrase "tiger woods": ./fetcher "\"tiger woods\""
    • To search for tiger with no mention of woods: ./fetcher "tiger -woods"
  • The script will create a folder named similarly to the search string and place the images returned on the first page of Google's image search into the folder. If two images have the same name, the first one will be saved normally (i.e. image.jpg), but the next one will be saved with an extra number (i.e. image.jpg.1).
