I agree completely. We need to move the goal posts for vision. It seems many are content with basic vision tracking using the FIRST provided vision targets, nothing wrong with that but it's been the same vision challenge since I was a student.
We've set the bar high for our students working on this project. Our ultimate goal is to remove the driver from certain situations entirely via automation programming and the advancement of this vision system. We think object recognition is a pretty big leap forward and we're hoping to continue to improve this over the years.
Seriously though, our students are working on the white paper for this... or at least that is what they keep telling us anyway.
