TDA4VM: Sfm on fish-eye cameras & Valet parking application - PTK - Queries

Part Number: TDA4VM


We received the following from one our customers.   Could you please clarify on below points for SfM on fish-eye camera application available in PTK demos, provided in the PSDKRA 6.2:

 

1.      Which camera model is used for fish-eye(FE) cameras in Sfm application, perception toolkit (PTK)

2.      Is it possible to disable INS/localization module and execution for a custom localization module

3.      What fps shall be achieved for 4 FE cameras, say, each image size is 1280x720 pixels.

 

Effectively, they would like to know how to configure valet parking demo application to execute using only vision sensor i.e., using 4 fish-eye cameras.

  • Did hear back from the apps team on this.  Please see the following:

    The SFM camera App has been tested with just one camera with the camera should be facing the side and not front (Camera sensor is OV10635). The algorithm does not work well with the front facing cases.

    Our implementation needs INS for the location information {x,y,z,pitch,roll,yaw}. If this information is coming from somewhere else then it should be mapped to our data structures.

    We have not tested the SFM/Valet Parking Apps on J7 EVM with live sensors, and only tested it on the TDA2x mounted on our car. Currently, we do not have plan in place to fix the J7 EVM in the car and test the SFM or Valet parking App with live sensors.

     

  • Thanks for the response.

    Please let me know what is the fps achieved using OV10635 sensor? 

  • Even though we have tested only 1 camera, I think it can process 2x720p@30 fps. (left and right cameras). For 4 cameras, we may need further optimization. Since the complexity mainly depends on the number of points, we could improve performances by smartly reducing the number of points to SfM.
