MORP (Milestone Over Rendered Paths)

About MORP

MORP is a novel algorithm for small robots, designed to drive efficiently in an indoor environment with little information to refer to. It renders a virtual lanes on the ground and detect objects upon the lanes, and further avoid it. In this project, we only use depth camera 'Intel D435i' for object handling, path planning and driving.

How to import MORP (D435i is needed) build badge

go to source ./ground_seg.py

#if ground_seg.py is in the same folder
import ground_seg

Main functions

1. VerticalGround

def verticalGround(depth_image2, images, numCol, plot):
  return images, dead_end

It vertically scans depth image to segment ground. Return painted color image and the last pixel's y-value. If argument 'plot' is True, you can see the matplot graph of current column.

2. GroundSeg

def GroundSeg(depth_image, color_image, stride=160):
  return temp_image, virtual_lane_available

It uses 'VerticalGround()' to widely segment ground. Return widely painted color image, and a list of 'dead_end' with 160 pixel stride - 'virtual_lane_available'. It will be used for path planning.

3. LaneHandling

def LaneHandling(virtual_lane_available, unavailable_thres, n):
  return direc

It uses dead_ends of each lanes for path planning. Return 'direc' means which direction to go. Finally, you can drive the robot with GoEasy(direc).
