VICTOR ESCRIBANO GARCIA'S PORTFOLIO
About the project
I participated on the development of the second autonomous vehicle in the history of UPC ecoRacing. As on my first year my contribution was on the development of the perception system, more specifically I designed and developed the HW and SW from the perception system.
This second year I focused only on camera systems and synchronization.
During this season I designed a new frame with 3 different cameras in order to obtain the best of any configuration; 1 camera with narrow FOV to detect further cones pointing at the front of the vehicle and 2 cameras with wider FOV and overlapping regions for stereo matching, pointing at the sides of the vehicle.
In order to receive and match the camera data I worked along the electronics department in order to develop a PCB to synchronize by flash signal the camera image capture packets.
Along this implementations no LiDAR technology was used relying only on the redundancy of the 3 cameras.
Also optimizations on graphical computation was implemented thanks to export the detection model to onnx and inference with TensorRT.
