Emme McDonald contributed to the FRC900/900RobotCode repository by developing two core features over two months, focusing on robotics and computer vision challenges. She integrated OV2311 camera calibration data using YAML and C++, streamlining the calibration workflow and improving robot vision accuracy by embedding intrinsic and extrinsic parameters directly into video streams. In the following month, she engineered a dynamic AprilTags recognition service in C++ and ROS, enabling runtime tag selection and reducing the need for rebuilds. Her work emphasized robust service development, runtime configurability, and system reliability, demonstrating depth in both camera calibration and flexible computer vision infrastructure.

March 2025: Delivered Dynamic AprilTags recognition service with runtime configurability in FRC900/900RobotCode, enabling flexible at-runtime tag selection. Implemented build updates to include a new AprilTags message package and a nodelet callback. Added apriltag filtering service call and a robustness improvement by clearing legal_tags before emplacing to prevent stale state. This work increases detector flexibility, reduces rebuild cycles, and improves recognition reliability.
