Abstract:Depth completion is a fundamental task in computer vision and robotics research. Many previous works complete the dense depth map with neural networks directly but most of them are non-interpretable and can not generalize to different situations well. In this paper, we propose an effective image representation method for depth completion tasks. The input of our system is a monocular camera frame and the synchronous sparse depth map. The output of our system is a dense per-pixel depth map of the frame. First we use a neural network to transform each pixel into a feature vector, which we call base functions. Then we pick out the known pixels' base functions and their depth values. We use a linear least square algorithm to fit the base functions and the depth values. Then we get the weights estimated from the least square algorithm. Finally, we apply the weights to the whole image and predict the final depth map. Our method is interpretable so it can generalize well. Experiments show that our results beat the state-of-the-art on NYU-Depth-V2 dataset both in accuracy and runtime. Moreover, experiments show that our method can generalize well on different numbers of sparse points and different datasets.
Abstract:ZJUNlict became the Small Size League Champion of RoboCup 2019 with 6 victories and 1 tie for their 7 games. The overwhelming ability of ball-handling and passing allows ZJUNlict to greatly threaten its opponent and almost kept its goal clear without being threatened. This paper presents the core technology of its ball-handling and robot movement which consist of hardware optimization, dynamic passing and shooting strategy, and multi-agent cooperation and formation. We first describe the mechanical optimization on the placement of the capacitors, the redesign of the damping system of the dribbler and the electrical optimization on the replacement of the core chip. We then describe our passing point algorithm. The passing and shooting strategy can be separated into two different parts, where we search the passing point on SBIP-DPPS and evaluate the point based on the ball model. The statements and the conclusion should be supported by the performances and log of games on Small Size League RoboCup 2019.
