PLANNING TEAM MEETING
Lars: demonstrate genMap plotting of painted corridor
trying to get realtime matlab display

STEREO
mount is being made, new cameras have not been played with
code parameters are still being tested
genMap needs testing, debugging,checking votes 100

LADAR
sometimes it just stops sending scans, so Mike is going to work on
recognize this and restart
genMaps still need to be tested
all votes 100

testing during the week:
when the gps jumps, throws off all genMaps - this should be fixed, now
-Lars

all should use the latest genMap, shouldn't have to change names (except
maybe utmbottomx or something)

CORRIDOR ARC EVALUATOR
Rocky: seems to be doing OK, Sue Ann needs to add display for
corrarcevalutor voter

STATIC MAP
Alan: hasn't done much, Rocky will help

PLANNING SYSTEMS
Sue Ann will commit Arbiter version that treats DFE differently, added as
an option
Lars: set stereo weight to 0, has suspicion that this wasn't working Sue
Ann: just have to uncomment one line, comment another

GENMAP LIBRARY
needs much testing, some genmaps previously collected could have been
inverted, may have been fixed, needs testing
the x axis is north, y is east, z is down
within genmap should be (northing, easting,)  [flight control, navigation]
Lars' assumption:
row - northing (i.e. changes in row are changes in northing)
col - easting (i.e. changes in col are changes in easting)
all this needs to be checked in the code, the test functions, too
SueAnn: saveXYZ are probably mixed up
main things to test:
- eastin/northin
- path evaluation methods
- painting the corridor
- expiring information?

ROAD FOLLOWING
Jeremy has made no progress
chris has volunteered to come five days before QID, week of
decision: not devote anything to road following, yet

DFE
Luis thinks it's fine, may need tuning
need some good masking, to reject

bunch of talk about best way to assign goodness, velo -- all deferred
we have steering, brakes, throttle - no more excuses
Adam made a bad joke about the brake hum

STATIC PLANNER
Alan: can have code in 9 days, no d-star
method in global planner to insert waypoints?
need to add bug
