Brian Zheng developed and stabilized advanced perception features for the WATonomous/wato_monorepo, focusing on multi-camera and LiDAR-based 3D scene understanding. He engineered robust pipelines for ground-plane removal, clustering, and 3D bounding box estimation, leveraging C++ and Python with ROS 2 integration. His work included unified batched inference for multi-camera setups, TensorRT runtime management, and CUDA memory handling to improve reliability and scalability. Brian also enhanced visualization tooling for debugging and validation, and streamlined deployment with Docker and CI/CD practices. His contributions addressed both technical depth and maintainability, resulting in a more reliable, scalable, and production-ready perception stack.

Apr 1, 2025April 2025: WATonomous/wato_monorepo delivered a set of stability, scalability, and visualization enhancements across the multi-camera perception stack. Key work focused on robust TensorRT runtime handling, a unified batched inference pipeline for multiple cameras, and enhanced 3D visualization controls, all aimed at improving reliability, deployment readiness, and business value for multi-camera sensing. Key features delivered: - Unified batched multi-camera inference pipeline enabling batched detections, consolidation, and aggregated 2D/3D outputs across cameras; updated deployment to publish batched topics. - Visualization for 3D bounding box detections with centroids and colored clusters, plus a new publish_visualization control to enable/disable visualization output. - Bounding box computation improvements including IOU logic, tighter clustering/detection thresholds, and cleanup of the 2D/3D bbox codebase (including hardcoded image dimension fixes). Major bugs fixed: - TensorRT stability and weights initialization for camera object detection: fixes initialization/cleanup, correct handling of model weights, prevents memory leaks, and ensures correctness of camera detection topics. - CUDA memory and GPU buffer memory leak issues resolved. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - TensorRT runtime management, CUDA memory handling, and memory leak remediation. - Multi-camera data pipelines and batched inference deployment. - 3D bounding box visualization, configurable visualization outputs, and codebase cleanup for maintainability. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Increased reliability and stability of the perception stack, improved scalability to multiple cameras, and enhanced observability with visualization controls. These changes reduce deployment risk, improve detection fidelity under multi-camera scenarios, and support faster iteration and integration into production systems.
