Welcome to the Boston Team Page for the Udacity / Didi Challenge!

For the final deliverable, according to MacCallister Higgins of Udacity at https://carnd.slack.com/archives/C4FJZ0JH3/p1489428114341653:

We will be releasing additional training and test datasets in both ROS bag and Kitti format. We are currently talking directly with the people behind the Kitti data/challenges and we both agree that ROS bags are now the better format for data release, but we'd need to potentially modify their evaluation framework (see their dev kit) to accomodate that. The challenge page currently also incorrectly states that new datasets will have stereo camera imagery since we included the Kitti dataset format for reference, but our data will only have a single forward facing monocular camera. We are currently pointing competitors towards the Kitti datasets to get started immediately if they want, but your solution shouldn't be so narrow as to only apply to those datasets. Monocular camera, LIDAR, and Radar data will be provided, so you should currently approach the problem at a higher level. Solutions will need to run in a ROS node, meaning that either C/C++ or Python can be used, but since there are real-time performace constraints, we would suggest a final implementation in C/C++."
