v0.3.3-eurosys

Release to be used to reproduce the experiments from the D3: A Dynamic Deadline-Driven Approach for Building Autonomous Vehicles paper accepted at EuroSys 2022.

Pylot v0.3.3

Pylot v0.3.3

• Updated Pylot to support Python 3.8 and Tensorflow 2 (#220).
• Added support for the QDTrack obstacle tracker (#183).
• Improved logging, and organized logs into folders (#191).
• Updated all necessary operators to use TensorFlow2 (#214).
• Improved validation of flags and extended type hints (#178).

Bug Fixes

• Fixed visualization of lanes (#199).
• Fixed bug in setting CARLA's traffic manager port (#202).

Pylot v0.3.2

• Added CenterTrack obstacle tracker (#149).
• Added indicator stream to logging operators so that they can be used for synchronizing.
• Added option to enable evaluation operators to the challenge agent (#175).
• Added new tracker evaluation operator, and base eval class (#160, #166, #168, #172).

Bug Fixes

• Fixed bug in parsing CARLA version strings.
• Fixed EfficientDet detection operator so that it correctly extracts bounding boxes.
• Fixed LaneNet imports (#155).
• Lock pygame to a working version (#159).
• Added code to handle top watermarks in watermark callbacks (#169).

Pylot v0.3.1

• Improved perfect lane detector to collect all lanes.
• Added support for latest CARLA LiDAR type (CARLA >= 0.9.9.4).
• Updated CARLA challenge agent to support perfect perception.
• Added logic to close pygame window, and to shutdown on sigint.
• Updated traffic light data collection script to work with latest CARLA versions.
• Reduced dependency on CARLA throughout the code base.

Pylot v0.3.0

New features

• EKF localization.
• R2P2 obstacle prediction.
• Lanenet lane detection.
• EfficientDet obstacle detection.
• Driver script for running on a Lincoln MKZ vehicle.
• Drivers for Grasshopper cameras and Velodyne LiDAR.
• Pseudo-asynchronous execution mode for accurately measuring the impact of runtime on driving experience.
• Moved from cv2 visualization to a pygame-based interface for visualizing all the components.
• Added an agent for the CARLA challenge.

Implementation Changes

• Refactored planners to work with a common world representation.

Pylot 0.2.0

Initial Pylot release that uses the Rust-based ERDOS. The release also:

1. Adds support for CARLA 0.9.7.
2. Refactors utils modules into classes.
3. Ensured all transforms from CARLA objects to Pylot objects are consistent.
