Title: Autonomous Truck Loader using OpenCV |
Team Name: Tech.Divas University of Engineering and Technology, Taxila Pakistan
Country: Pakistan |
|
Overview
The project Autonomous Truck Loader using OpenCV comprises of two modules.
- A computer vision module developed using python and running as independent
application. This module communicates with UC-win/Road through UDP protocol.
- A plugin developed in Delphi which acts as a UDP server and receives commands
from the python module and updates the simulation accordingly.
|
|
The computer vision module is integrated with loader truck on UDP using SDK Plugin. A front camera is mounted on simulated truck for object/ lane detection. The truck mounted camera is calibrated before use, using OpenCV libraries for visual display and Road Lane.The system displays a message whenever it detects an object, reaches out, and collects garbage/lifts snow. Additionally, the system is also capable of detecting pedestrians and other vehicles to avoid any type of collision. |

■Comment by Prof. Tomohiro Fukuda, Chief of CPWC Executive Committee
In Japan, elementary schools are proceeding with the preparations for the implementation of programming education that will start in 2020.
CPWC 2018 (Cloud Programming World Cup) is a competition that students create engineering software, business software, and game software they developed based on the develpment kit of FORUM8's UC-win/Road and VR-Cloud.
To the 6th CPWC this year, we accepted 17 entries and had a nomination
meeting in New Zealand. At this stage, we gave feedback to each team about
points to be concrete and reinforced for the final submission in October,
which we eventually received 6 works. All of 6 works with the possibility
of being Grand Prix and special awards passed the nomination screening,
and we advised them towards the final presentation.In the final presentation
on November 15, each team gave a 2-minute video presentation about the
characteristics and achievement level of their own developed system. After
that, we held the final judgment.
"Autonomous Truck Loader using OpenCV" by Tech.Divas (University of Engineering and Technology, Taxila Pakistan) that won Grand Prix was a system to collect garbage and remove snow. Focused on the automatic recognition technology, this system combines computer vision and VR system. This is a novel and challenging theme for working trucks.
The followings are the Judge's special prizes:
- Environment Design and IT Award "The automatic driving man-machine
sharing control system": ITSCer (Wuhan University of Technology, China)
An L3 level auto-pilot and man-machine switching control system is designed
with high skill.
- Best Optimization Award "Fire Escape Simulation System": IMAX
(Shanghai University, China)
When a fire occurs, this system controls the movement of people indoors
through the Bluetooth signal of the mobile phone and shows safe evacuation
routes. This year, this was the only work not related to the autnomous
driving among a lot of works.
- Design and Computation Award "Modeling Naturalistic Driver Behavior
in Traffic using Deep Neural Network": KAI (Kookmin University, Korea)
They developed a driver model with naturalistic behavior in traffic using
the deep learning technology and a real car equipped with various sensors
including LIDARs and cameras, and implement it into the UC-Win/Road. This
work had high quality.
- IT Innovation Award "Improvement of take-over control function in
highly automated driving": Buaa13ers (Beihang University, China)
This year, each works had high quality, and due to it, we juries had to
understand minute differences between them at the final judgment. I would
like to show an admiration to 6 teams that reached the final presentation.
I expect applications from more countries in 2019.

Judging
Standard
|
|
|
The objective of the competition is to develop
software that can run on VR-Cloud® using UC-win/Road SDK
(Software Development Kit) and VR-Cloud® SDK. This
software could be: all-purpose software, application
programs, engineering software, business software or
game software. Competing students are asked to submit a
set of source codes of the software they used and a
Power Point slide that gives an explanation on the
source codes. The work will be evaluated on how well SDK
was used in the creation of the cloud software from the
aspect of programming quality, rationality,
technicality, aesthetics, originality, and how well it
is presented.
*Copyright
- All contents of the awarded VR data is the
copyright of each applicants.
- The submitted VR data will not be distributed, but
FORUM8 has a right to use the data and works, edit and
reproduce the images and videos etc. and post or
introduce it on website, magazines, books, newspaper
etc. as a sales activity or an advertisement as a
secondary user of VR data.
