Our team 8121 successfully used Vuforia for autonomous mode this year. We used it for positioning in front of the beacons. Here is a video from the Maryland State.
Vuforia has the following benefits:
Though there are a few disadvantages we need to work around:
I will try to publish the code and description when I have the time to do so.
Vuforia has the following benefits:
- Easy to use
- Usable from any position on the field, granted the phone can see the targets
Though there are a few disadvantages we need to work around:
- There is a delay with initial detection, especially if robot is moving too quickly
- The coordinates are reported with an about 400ms delay. This is on the ZTE Max and may be different on other phones.
- Tracking without seeing the image is not useful for precise positioning in front of the beacons. It tracks the background which is far beyond the actual target.
I will try to publish the code and description when I have the time to do so.
