The below describes the configuration method for RapidSense beta release.
Launch RapidSense
To launch RapidSense, first, type rapidsense at the terminal to start the core application. Second, type rtr_rapidsense_proxy to start the proxy application. Third, run the calibration service script calibration_service.py in a new terminal.
To launch RapidSense with Generic Vision Interface, first, type rapidsense -g at the terminal to start the core application. Second, type rtr_rapidsense_proxy to start the proxy application. Since the vision system connected to the Generic Vision Interface should be already calibrated, a user can start streaming the point cloud data using the ScanScene command.
Volumes
The main configuration item related to RapidSense usage is the volume. A volume is a 3 dimensional region of interest within which dynamic obstacles are tracked and/or additional functionalities (called filters) are performed, as configured by the user. Users create, update, read, and delete volumes via the Control Panel.
Filters
Filters are operations users can add to a volume of interest to perform specific tasks. The following filters are supported:
Height check - return the maximum height of a surface area within the volume
Change detection(under developement) - identify deviations between a user provided expected template and what is sensed in the volume
