[Pv-league-users] Wtr: Re: Some questions

[list f. t. t. of t. R. P. V. Sub-League. <pv-...@li...>]

Hello everybody,

here are some questions my team had. The answers Mr. Guerra sent us will
maybe be interesting for all of you.

So there is one question, my team sent to me: Is the field limit sent in
the sensor data?

Looking forward to an answer.

Best regards.

You can see the comparison sheet provided by Point Grey at the following url,
http://www.ptgrey.com/support/kb/data/Imaging_products_comparison.pdf.

As you see there are several differences between SCOR-14SOC and SCOR-13FF. 
But the frame rate and resolution are same specification 
if we use standard DCAM formats, 
I think there are no problems in software.

So our team got SCOR-14SOC instead of SCOR-13FF, but we cannot try it yet.

I think we can do it at Guerra's team because we are in the same university. 
How do you think?> Yuichi and Guerra.

Dear Guerra,

Regarding the camera we have got a problem, please read what the company has
replied:

"The Scorpion 13FF series is a series we no longer promote as we have found
that the sensors
used for this series experience a greater degree of burnt pixels. I
understand that you would like
 to use the SCOR-13FF, but you may like to consider the CCD sensor versions,
SCOR-14SOC
 or SCOR-03SOC. The other disadvantage of ordering the SCOR-13FFC is that
this item is a
made to order item, with a lead-time of 8 weeks."

Could you please let us know if it's okay if we use these new models? Do
think the software will work with these models?
Just out of interest, do you know other teams have gotten the 13FF model or
they have the same problem?

Thanks for your time.

[Pv-league-users] About PV Sub-League Competitions

[list f. t. t. of t. R. P. V. Sub-League. <pv-...@li...>]

Dear teams,

It is time now to start discussing more practical issues.

1. About the competitions
   -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Unfortunately detailed rules still take a little longer to come, but
we prepared some documents in order to give you a "sneak peek": [1]

This competition is a first time thing and all sorts of things are to
be discussed and decided, so please be patient and bear with us.

[1] http://er04.ams.eng.osaka-u.ac.jp/ecobe-robocup/?q=en/node/46


2. About the letters of assurance
   -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

It seems one letter might have returned (a mistake of our office that
was unaware of the name "PV sub-league"). We are very sorry for this
inconvenient. Up to date we already received 7 (seven) letters, so
five are still to come. If your letter return for any reason, please
try to put the address exactly as bellow ("Osaka University" and my
name were missing in the address I gave before):

To: Rodrigo da Silva Guerra / PV Sub-League
FRC1,  Graduate School of Engineering, 4F
OSAKA UNIVERSITY
2-1 Yamadaoka, Suita,
Osaka, Japan
565-0871

When filling the letter, please remember to complete all fields.
Specially field number four (two teams already sent them blank). Field
number four can be filled with something simple like "research and
education".


3. About the delivery of the robots and other material.
   -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Be aware that In some countries some legal paper work might be
required before sending the robots. In these countries, when send the
robots they might not arrive if the legal measures were not taken
prior to sending. We cannot be held responsible for the additional
paper work (and corresponding cost) other than the ordinary shipping
costs from Japan. Please contact the customs office of your country
and give us instructions on how to proceed if shipping for your
country requires special treatment. We will do our best to provide all
the necessary documents you might request.

We hope we can deliver the material before the end of this month.

4. Team Registration
   -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

The end of the moth is coming. Please take care of registering your team: [2]

You will be asked a Team Name. Please write an email to us [3]
informing your chosen team name. This will help internal communication
(saying "team X" instead of "team of university W, country Y,
professor Z").

[Pv-league-users] Notes about Hardware

[Rodrigo G. <tio...@gm...>]

Dear selected teams,

First of all thank you for confirming your intention of taking
partition on the RoboCup 2007 with us. We know you all must have many
doubts now, and many of you have already started inquiring about
further details.

As most of you are likely to share the same concerns we kindly invite
you to subscribe to the users mailing list [1]. Please direct all your
messages regarding any doubts and concerns to that mailing list. We
will be doing our best to keep up-to-date through that channel.

For the time being we hope the guidelines in this e-mail feeds you the
most urgent information.

Additionally, please keep track of the wiki page for details about the
event in Atlanta [7].

We will be contacting you very soon with more information about the
competitions and other issues.

Best regards,
Rodrigo da Silva Guerra, on behalf of the
Physical Visualization Sub-League Working Group
Simulation League =96 RoboCup


1. Distribution of Robots
  -=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-
We will distribute 20 robots to each team. For legal and bureaucratic
reasons these robots will remain property of CITIZEN Co. In practice,
however, the teams should most probably be allowed to keep these
robots for as long as they want.

Also each team has to sign and mail to us the attached document assuring th=
ey:
"... will never use these robots and their replicas, or the technology
and software for the development, the manufacture, the use or the
storage of weapons for mass destruction such as nuclear, biological or
chemical weapons and missiles."

This assurance is a requirement for qualifying your team to receive the rob=
ots.

2. Complementary Equipment
  -=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-
We need to stress that we cannot and will not impose the acquisition
of any equipment toward the teams. It is up to you, the teams, to
decide what equipment to acquire according to the needs you will have
depending on the competitions you decide to engage and on any extra
local projects you might be intending to pursue with the system.

During the RoboCup we will provide a complete shared infrastructure
with all complementary equipment necessary for practicing and
competitions. Those teams that want to avoid having to share time and
resources with all other teams are welcome to bring their own
equipment for practicing. Each team will have a limited workspace were
they can settle. Nevertheless we do require the teams to bring at
least the robots that will be used in the competitions, with their
batteries and the battery recharger.

2.a Display
    -=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-
All the teams are probably aware of the original concept of an
augmented reality that we are introducing with this league. It
consists basically in using for the field or arena a flat LCD display
which is put in the horizontal position (like a table). Due to their
light weight, many robots can move over the screen causing no harm --
a protective film helps avoiding scratches [2].

The minimum recommended display would be a 20" LCD wide screen format
(approx. 47 x 39 cm) capable of displaying 1366 x 768 pixels. See for
instance [3]. We will be informing the exact brand and model to be
used in Atlanta after we finish negotiating details with the local
organizers.

2.b Camera
    -=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-
In the standard setup of the sub-league the localization of the robots
is based on the tracking of color markers placed on the top of each
robot. A camera with good resolution is needed in order to provide
accurate localization of small markers on a large field. For the sake
of compatibility of software and drivers we believe it might be also
interesting for the teams to share a same standard camera. Teams are
free to decide for different brands and models of cameras, but we
cannot guarantee prompt software support to each and every model. We
have been successfully using and recommend a Point Grey Scorpion model
SCOR-13FFC-CS (see [4]). That camera has focal length adjusted for
lens type CS but the lens type C can be used together with a 5mm C/CS
adapter ring [5,6]. In practice, the lenses we found mostly useful
were the 8mm and 12mm.

Note: We do not have any commercial agreement with that company. This
camera just happens to be the one we have been successfully using at
the moment.

2.c Computer
   -=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-
A fast computer is necessary in order to process such high resolution
image at the frame rate and still have enough CPU power for the game
applications and updating display visualizations. Just for reference,
the configuration we have been using is:
  - Processor: AMD Athlon 64 FX model FX-60.
  - Motherboard: nVidia nForce4 A8N-SLI Premium
  - Memory: (2x) DDR SDRAM PC3200 1GB
  - Video card: nVidia GeForce 7800 GTX 512
  - Hard disk: Western Digital Raptor 150GB 10000rpm Serial ATA

Please note that you will probably appreciate having an extra display
of arbitrary size for ergonomic and practical reasons -- for instance,
it gets really confusing if you try to check and calibrate the camera
image using the field display (which is itself captured in the camera
image). For using the Scorpion camera aforementioned you will need a
IEEE1394 port (a.k.a Firewire). For connecting the supplied infrared
transmitter to the computer you will need a serial port (USB-to-serial
adapters won't work).

For operating system we use Linux. In Atlanta we will use the latest
stable Ubuntu version, which as of today is 6.10 (Edgy).

[Pv-league-users] Movie Section

[Moeen A <mas...@ya...>]

Hi,
Most of the PV league people are Linux users.
But the movie section of eco-be.com is not compatible with Linux.
Is there any plan to make it compatible ?
(I couldn't watch the movie section yet, for the following reason)

There are some teams like us which are interested in server
development as well. Can anyone from the current server
development team describe the current process ?
And tell us how to involve ?

Thanks
