Sample tuning for campus environment#

Introduction#

This section will guide you on how to fine-tune Autoware's localization, perception, and planning stacks for the Yıldız Technical University (YTU) campus environment. This document serves as your roadmap for optimizing the performance of Autoware within the cutting-edge capabilities of a sample university campus environment. Through meticulous parameter adjustments, our aim is to ensure that your autonomous systems operate seamlessly and efficiently in similar complex real-world scenarios.

Yıldız Technical University Campus Environment#

Yıldız Technical University (YTU) is located in Istanbul, Turkey, and it encompasses multiple campuses. One of these campuses is the Davutpaşa Campus, where we operate autonomous vehicles. Here is some general information about the YTU Davutpaşa Campus:

  1. Slopes and Terrains

    YTU Davutpaşa Campus has varied topography. Some areas may be flat, while others may have gentle or steep slopes. These features can influence accessibility and landscaping choices.

  2. Greenery and Trees

    YTU Davutpaşa Campus is typically landscaped with a variety of plants and trees. They provide aesthetic appeal, shade, and contribute to the overall environment. There may be designated green spaces, gardens, and courtyards.

  3. Building structures

    The Davutpaşa Campus features a diverse range of buildings, ranging in size from small-scale structures to more substantial edifices. These buildings will be utilized for NDT localization.

Yıldız Technical University Campus Pointcloud Map#

Utilizing the LIO-SAM mapping package, we have effectively created a point cloud map of Yıldız Technical University's Davutpaşa campus. This real-time lidar-inertial odometry system has empowered us to achieve precision in this unique campus environment. For detailed information on how we constructed the point cloud map at YTU Davutpaşa, please refer to the LIO-SAM page. Additionally, we have converted the output map into MGRS format.
