Copyright (C) 2019 AVBotz REQUIREMENTS Ubuntu 18.04 (best for ROS melodic) ROS (sudo apt-get install ros-melodic-desktop-full) OpenCV (sudo apt-get install libopencv-dev python3-opencv) Tensorflow (sudo pip3 install tensorflow) Tensorflow for C (instructions at https://www.tensorflow.org/install/lang_c) Spinnaker/FlyCapture SDK (contact David Zhang if needed) Tmux (recommended, sudo apt-get install tmux) Nautical (check Nautical README for setup instructions) COMPILING (download TF models) ./tf.sh (build ROS nodes) source workspace.sh && catkin_make STARTUP Follow the instructions under the Nautical README. Close the Nautical DISPLAY pane as Mako will be using the stream to read control data. Keep the COMMAND pane open. Open tmux panes as needed. Each session will require that "roscore" is running in one of the panes the entire time. In the other panes, run nodes as needed. Before running the node startup command, "source workspace.sh" needs to be invoked. The nodes are described below, under COMMANDS. CONFIG "src/sub_vision/include/vision/config.hpp" (rosed vision config.hpp) contains the main config and explanations for vision and mission definitions. "src/sub_control/include/control/atmega.hpp" (rosed control atmega.hpp) contains the port that Mako will use to connect to the control code. COMMANDS (vision) "rosrun vision acquisition_node" Starts taking images from front camera and publishing them to topic 'front_camera'. "rosrun vision mock_camera_node" Publishes the test image, "test_image.png", to the topic 'front_camera'. "rosrun vision inference_node" Runs inference on the TF models and publishes the observations. This requires that either acquisition_node or mock_camera_node is running. "rosrun vision vision_node" The main vision node. Will either request observations from the TF model if indicated in the config, or handle object detection itself with OpenCV. Also logs images and captures images from down camera. This requires that either acquisition_node or mock_camera_node is running. "rosrun vision mock_detect_node" Simulates a mission request for an observation from vision. This requires that vision_node is running. (mission) "rosrun mission prelim_node" Runs the prelim using the states in prelim.cpp (rosed mission prelim.cpp). "rosrun mission mission_node" Runs the overall mission, including path planning, object manipulation, sub movement, etc. This requires that vision_node is running. (common combinations) prelim_node (run prelim) acquisition_node + vision_node (log images) acquisition_node + inference_node + vision_node + mission_node (full mission) SUMMARY Most runs should look like this: 1. Setup sub, turn on, and connect sub to router. Ensure kill is OFF. 2. Connect own computer to AVBotz network. 3. SSH into sub, "ssh [email protected]". 4. Put sub into water without breaking a motor. 5. Follow Nautical README instructions. Pray that the DVL doesn't hang. 6. Follow Mako README instructions with one of the common node combinations. 7. Unplug tether if this is an autonomous run. 8. Turn kill switch ON to begin mission if that is running. ADDITIONAL Thanks to Sergio Izquierdo (serizba) for writing CPPFLOW. Mako sends image data between nodes through the built-in ROS method. A (better?) option would be to write the images to V-shm, and have both inference_node and vision_node read from shm. If attempting to implement the method, don't forget to avoid exceeding the memory stack limit, as the front camera images are large. The other issue is that Python doesn't interface well with shm. Mako also needs a method of automating common startup runs so a person doesn't need to manually type in each node activation command.
