During February 2025, Brian Smith focused on stabilizing visual perception in the MissouriMRDT/Autonomy_Software repository by addressing a camera whitewashing issue in Aruco marker detection. He implemented a kernel-level update in C++ that introduced ARUCO_TEST_KERNEL to replace ARUCO_SHARPEN_KERNEL_EXTRA, modifying the image filtering process to improve detection reliability under varied lighting. This targeted bug fix enhanced the robustness of the perception pipeline, reducing false negatives and operator intervention. Brian’s work demonstrated skills in computer vision, embedded systems, and image processing, with clear commit traceability and effective cross-team collaboration, reflecting a focused and technically sound engineering contribution for the month.
