WP2 status report G. Aielli Edusafe Spring School 07/03/2014
Fast real time video transmission • A solution has been found, sufficient for the EDUSAFE task: PARALINX ARROW system • Commercial solution developed for video broadcasting in the movie maker field: the mobile cameras on open field scene are equipped with transmitters sending the images to the director supervisory post. The EDUSAFE application is of the same type… • Technically is a HDMI cable wireless extender • It works with a custom protocol over the 5.1-5.8 GHz radio base • It guarantee 1mS latency for delivering uncompressed audio/video in full HD • Tested in ATLAS successfully transmitter HDMI in receiver HDMI out • Purchased a TX/RX set + an double input HDMI frame grabber board (xPCI) to make extensive quality test • For the final system we propose an HDMI Gbit Ethernet converter to be able to deliver the image to a remote server over optical fiber

Impact on the architecture Video sensor source receiver server • The audio/video source will be available on the server in real time: • Usable for supervision purposes due to smooth HQ images and sounds • WRM can be effectively inserted in the loop now • The visual tracking computing can be now replicated in parallel on the server without HW limitations • The tracking process on the PTU still has the advantage of no dependence on the wireless video stream more reliable and absolutely needed • The sensor fusion process will have now up to 4 independent tracking sources to be combined: • IMU • Local PTU visual tracking • Replicated visual tracking on the server • WRM based visual tracking on the server • Further use of this transmitter possible toward the operator in case of need open discussion on further architecture options/simplifications Vis.

Roma EpflCern meeting WP2 related • Meeting focused on implementing the WRM in the AR system • New use case to avoid ATLAS schedule constraints Olga • ROMA updates • Recent breakthrough in the WRM implementation: long segment tracking fully working ! open up the possibility of arbitrary shape detection at 3.3 Kframes /s -- 1Mpixel image (existing WRM) Ali slides • Need a better edge detector that works well on color images collaboration with Vincent • 1 bulgarian engineer might be hired soon for the ER. • Critical implementation points for the project: • edge detector implementation • Overall cost for the test system 50 KCHF estimation partially covered with the column 3 proposed to point out all the HW EDUSAFE cost share within partners • Includes foundry test run, xPCI board design and construction, side electronics • Discussion of collaboration between EPFL and Roma • At the moment segment finding can not be used directly by EPFL software (still hopes ??). Open discussion on this point. Thinking of new techniques? • Part detection of EPFL is the slowest element of the SW of EPFL. Roma will pursue part detection by WRM. Warning this is a new challenge!
