Detect colored LED's with omnidirectionnal camera in LUA

[titpierrot]

Hello,

I am actually trying to get informations from the colored omnidirectionnal camera in a LUA script to locate cylinder with red colored LED.

I am beginner with the use of detectors and LUA, so a lot of things are a little bit difficult for me.

Actually, I try to get the color value with this line :
detected_color = robot.colored_blob_omnidirectional_camera.color

and the angle value with this one :
color_angle = robot.colored_blob_omnidirectional_camera.angle

but it doesn't work.

Thank you very much for help !

What does not work? What do you expect to see, and what do you get instead?

Did you add the camera sensor in the .argos file?

Sorry, my first post was'nt really clear, I have write it too fast.

So, I added the camera sensor in the .argos file wih this line in the sensors section :

Code: Select all

<colored_blob_omnidirectional_camera implementation="rot_z_only" medium="leds" show_rays="true" />

I assume that is working because I can launch the argos simulator without error in the terminal.

I read the "ci_colored_blob_omnidirectional_camera_sensor.h" file, and I have see these lines :

Code: Select all

/* Color */ CColor Color; /* Angle */ CRadians Angle; /* Distance in cms */ Real Distance;

So, I assume that we have three output with this sensors :

• "Angle", which is the angle in radian between the front of the footbot and the led that he detected

• "Distance", which is the distance in cm between the bot and the led that he detected

• "Color", which is the color of the led that the bot detected

So, I have several questions :
What is the kind of output of "Color" ? Is this a RGB code, or the name of the color like "red" if the leds are defined with color="red" ?

What is the line to get this output in a variable in a LUA script ? Will the following line work for getting the angle ?

Code: Select all

color_angle = robot.colored_blob_omnidirectional_camera.angle

If it work to the angle, is it the same syntax to get the color output ?

My objective is to detect materials (which are movable cylinders) with the footbot. To do that, I put a red led in the top of the materials, and I use the colored omnidirectionnal camera to detect them.
After the detection of a material by a footbot, I want that the footbot get the material with his gripper and move it.

Sorry for my first post, it is my mind which did not working properly
