Members of L-CAS are active contributors to the following software projects

• iceWing: A C++ image processing framework tightly integrated with openCV
• altURI: contribution to USARSim
• CAST: The CoSy Architecture Schema Toolkit (CAST) is a system integration framework designed to allow researchers (primarily in the fields of AI and robotics) to develop distributed intelligent, autonomous systems
• MuPPeTS (Multimodal People Perception and Tracking Software): several C++ libraries for multisensor human detection, recognition and tracking.
• RoboLib: C# software wrappers and practical tutorials for different robots including Rovio, Roomba and NXT.

Datasets

• The University of Lincoln Long-term mapping data set:
  • comprising omni-directional camera and laser data
  • acquired over 7 weeks of continuous recording
  • in collaboration with Örebro University, Sweden
  • in this context you may also want to look at the  “Laser Registration Datasets” of ETH Zürich which covers a large spectrum of environmental structures with precise ground truth measurements.
    Recorded informations: 3D point clouds, gravity, magnetic north, GPS, and global poses using a theodolite.
• Synchronised thermal and colour image sequences of people collected from a mobile robot:
  • scenarios including single persons and crowded situations;
  • stationary and moving robot;
  • ground truth data available for selected sequences;
