Hi everyone, Anthony here to deliver a quick message. I decided to document everything I learned during last year’s RoboCup in the form of a tutorial, describing step by step how to recreate, from scratch, the hazmat detection functions of the SART vision repository. You can access the PDF here: Open in New Tab This...Read More

Hey there, it’s Anthony, ready to bring an end to this epic trilogy of identifying hazmat signs. In this part we will cover how we solved the second half of the generic object detection problem (as detailed in the first part): classification. The algorithms used in this part are by far the most complicated. Rather...Read More

Hi, it’s Anthony again. I’m here to make an addition to the first part of this series, which really belongs in that blog post, but it was getting too long, so I decided to make it into its own. If you haven’t read it, you can read part 1 here: https://www.sfxrescue.com/developmentupdates/day-195-hazmat-part-1-detecting-the-danger/ After a contour has...Read More

Hi, this is Anthony. I’ve not written a blog post about the vision stuff yet because I’ve been too busy actually working on it. The competition is done now though, and so I have free time to talk about what I’ve learned. Basically, there are two parts to the generic object detection problem: detection and...Read More
