Sensing component design#
Overview#
Sensing component is a collection of modules that apply some primitive pre-processing to the raw sensor data.
The sensor input formats are defined in this component.
Role#
- Abstraction of data formats to enable usage of sensors from various vendors
- Perform common/primitive sensor data processing required by each component
Inputs#
Input types#
