December 2024: Delivered Vision System Upgrade featuring distance-based variance adjustments for camera measurements and AdvantageKit integration for real and simulated cameras. Implemented distance-based variance by scaling standard deviations with the average distance to detected tags, added constants and logic, and integrated AdvantageKit VisionIO interfaces with corresponding build/config updates to support the new vision framework. This work establishes a more accurate, robust localization pipeline across real and simulated environments and lays the groundwork for further vision improvements.
