Identifying Docks with Lidar #157

Open mroglan opened 10 months ago

mroglan commented 10 months ago

We want to identify the location of the three docks for RoboBoat using our Lidar. The docks each have a sign which our Lidar should be able to see. Based on the signs and the borders of each bay, we want to determine where the entrance to each dock is. The RoboBoat handbook discusses the dock specifications: https://robonation.org/app/uploads/sites/3/2023/10/Team-Handbook_RoboBoat-2024_v1.0.pdf. Also, the VRX simulation has docks which should be good enough for developing an algorithm to locate the different docks. The algorithm can be implemented in a node.
