966b9e8c61 Yolo duplication fix (#1713)
Somebody wanted a description, so here I am.

This PR fixes an error which caused the discoverModels function to be
rerun after each upload of a new model, but without clearing the list of
available models. This causes any models that were on the list prior to
the import to be duplicated. This PR also makes it so that uploading a
model automatically updates the list of available models.

03ff9357d7 Remove nonfunctional ignore-cameras CLI arg (#1708)
The underlying logic appears to have been removed. I don't think anyone
really used this option, and the new camera matching stuff makes it

now an instance method
- `AprilTagFields.kDefaultField.loadAprilTagLayoutField();`, which is
now `AprilTagFieldLayout.loadField(AprilTagFields.kDefaultField);`

83c124f7fc Ingest wpilib!7609 and add turbo button (#1662)
Now that https://github.com/wpilibsuite/allwpilib/pull/7572 and
https://github.com/wpilibsuite/allwpilib/pull/7609 have been merged:
- Adds a magic hidden button to enable the new frame grabber behavior by
adding a boolean topic at `/photonvision/use_new_cscore_frametime`.
Toggle this to true to maybe increase FPS at the cost of latency
variability
- Bumps WPILib to ingest
https://github.com/wpilibsuite/allwpilib/pull/7609 , but doesn't
currently provide any user feedback about the time source. I don't think
that reporting this super matters?

e40c8fbca0 Calibration card and PV input styling (#1695)
Images are before and after comparison.
Does the following:
- Fixes several styling issues with pv-* input elements, including top
padding, vertical alignment, and allocated input width

![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/70d37e65-e0cd-4c71-8ea1-941ec2175850)

![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/031d008d-3cce-4ed2-bc88-5fbecf20c94f)

- Conforms the calibration details modal to overall styling and spacing
standards

484e8d4298 General UI Refinements (#1678)
Does the following:
- Adjusts the shade of red buttons and banners to increase readability
and reduce eye strain

![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/7f741a9e-dc1e-4394-b87d-580e189245b1)

![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/b23202f1-4cf6-46c1-aca5-2455a09259cd)

- Cleans up factory reset and camera deletion modals

![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/e6564732-d578-43da-bc83-729ec6fdbc5e)

![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/9c5a1cba-f4fd-47ea-811c-abbabe5fa3a4)

- Removes matchCamerasOnlyByPath as it is no longer used and throws
errors in the console

![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/77043993-26a2-4de4-8e98-702e7f285dc6)

- Limits the criteria to flag a camera mismatch in Camera Matching to
only what is necessary based on camera type and highlights differences
in table properties (testing on this is appreciated)

![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/cfbd96c1-09dd-414a-8177-693fc054b26f)

- Only displays both saved vs. current info in camera matching if there
is a difference between the two

![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/6223ffc8-4cff-464f-8b54-720c3222a5d5)

- Some general code cleanup (reduced unnecessary padding/margin/row-col
statements, style="display:flex;" -> class="d-flex", etc.
- Moves Compact Mode button to the bottom away from all the menu items
(cleaner imo, open to thoughts)
- Establishes a general spacing format for cards and pages and applies
this to existing cards and pages to create a consistent look and feel to
the UI (e.g. keeping things in line and less erratic spacing/placement
of UI elements)

- Delete protection for camera matching modules
- Anti-backend-spam for activate/deactivate/delete modules to hopefully
prevent any odd behavior from button spamming
- Enforces a common camera stream size on camera matching view (NEEDS
MORE TESTING)

474e4f07f8 Refined network management (#1672)
This PR implements several refinements to the way that NetworkManager
controls the network interface.

- The monitor detects and logs changes to the network address
- The monitor detects and logs changes to the connection and will
reinitialize the connection if needed
- Remove NetworkInterface.java class, which wasn't used anywhere
- Use java.net.NetworkInterface to get IP addresses for any interface
(device)
- Adds a metric for the current IP address (address on the currently
selected interface)

5df189d306 Improve slider text input fields (#1654)
This PR changes the text input fields to allow a user to type in a value and press enter (or click away) before the UI registers the updated value. It makes text input behave in a more expected manner.  The spin buttons are no longer shown for the text box. Instead, there are up and down buttons on either side of the slider.

The only thing that I can't figure out is a way to make the up and down buttons continuously increment (decrement) the value if you click and hold. I'm not sure that this is required, but if someone wants to propose a solution, please add it to this PR.

782929b006 Fix "Manage Device Networking" toggle being disabled incorrectly (#1620)
This fixes a bug introduced in #1592 that caused the Manage Device
Networking toggle to be disabled for systems where PhotonVision is
managing the network.

There is still a problem with the toggle defaulting to "off" and not
staying in the "on" position after settings are saved. I need help from
someone who understands the frontend to figure out why it keeps getting
set back to "off".

44f78cb03e [Examples] Limit minimum battery voltage in sim to 0.1V (#1600)
Occasionally, the sim projects are capable of simulating current draw of
over 600A, which triggers a condition in
`BatterySim::calculateDefaultBatteryLoadedVoltage` that limits the
minimum measured battery voltage to 0V (to prevent it from going
negative).

When battery voltage measures 0, this causes NaN values to propagate
through the drivetrain model, making sim inoperable. Specifically, [this
is the
line](https://github.com/PhotonVision/photonvision/blob/master/photonlib-java-examples/aimandrange/src/main/java/frc/robot/subsystems/drivetrain/SwerveDriveSim.java#L452)
that causes the initial NaN values in simulation.

This PR is posed as a patch to ensure that simulation doesn't break.

61552ad6ca Tidy up of python autogenerated messages (#1594)
This fixes mostly formatting issues so there is no longer any diff with
things after rerunning the generation script. Yes, most of this can be
fixed by running wpiformat but that doesn't exist as a pre-commit hook
atm, so I think this is nicer.

It also removes any reference to the java encode/decode within the
python message gen

fa66ed866c add file marker for type checking (#1598)

the guide to making a [pep561 compliant

and this example in
[black](https://github.com/psf/black/pull/1395/files). Given that I get
all the type-checking info from a local installation, I don't know if
this is testable until it's published on Pypi.

## Before Competition
- Ensure you have spares of the relevant electronics if you can afford it (switch, coprocessor, cameras, etc.).
- Download the latest release .jar onto your computer and update your Pi if necessary (only update if the release is labeled "critical" or similar, we do not recommend updating right before an event in case there are unforeseen bugs).
- Test out PhotonVision at your home setup.
- Ensure that you have set up SmartDashboard / Shuffleboard to view your camera streams during matches.
- Follow all the recommendations under the Networking section in installation (network switch and static IP).
- Use high quality ethernet cables that have been rigorously tested.
- Set up port forwarding using the guide in the Networking section in installation.
- Stay on the latest version of PhotonVision until you have tested your full robot system to be functional.
- Some time before the competition, lock down the version you are using and do not upgrade unless you encounter a critical bug.
- Have a copy of the installation image for the version you are using on your programming laptop, in case re-imaging (without internet) is needed.
- Extensively test at your home setup. Practice tuning from scratch under different lighting conditions.
- Use SmartDashboard / Shuffleboard to view your camera streams during practice.
- Confirm you have followed all the recommendations under the Networking section in installation (network switch and static IP).
- Only use high quality ethernet cables that have been rigorously tested.
- Set up RIO USB port forwarding using the guide in the Networking section in installation.
## During the Competition
- Make sure you take advantage of the field calibration time given at the start of the event:
- Bring your robot to the field at the allotted time.
- Turn on your robot and pull up the dashboard on your driver station.
- Point your robot at the AprilTags(s) and ensure you get a consistent tracking (you hold one AprilTag consistently, the ceiling lights aren't detected, etc.).
- If you have problems with your pipeline, go to the pipeline tuning section and retune the pipeline using the guide there.
- Move the robot close, far, angled, and around the field to ensure no extra AprilTags are found.
- Go to a practice match to ensure everything is working correctly.
- Use the field calibration time given at the start of the event:
- Bring your robot to the field at the allotted time.
- Make sure the field has match-accurate lighting conditions active.
- Turn on your robot and pull up the dashboard on your driver station.
- Point your robot at the targets and ensure you get a consistent tracking (you hold one targets consistently, the ceiling lights aren't detected, etc.).
- If you have problems with your pipeline, go to the pipeline tuning section and retune the pipeline using the guide there.
- Move the robot close, far, angled, and around the field to ensure no extra targets are found.
- Monitor camera feeds during a practice match to ensure everything is working correctly.
- After field calibration, use the "Export Settings" button in the "Settings" page to create a backup.
- Do this for each coprocessor on your robot that runs PhotonVision, and name your exports with meaningful names.
- This will contain camera information/calibration, pipeline information, network settings, etc.
- In the event of software/hardware failures (IE lost SD Card, broken device), you can then use the "Import Settings" button and select "All Settings" to restore your settings.
- This effectively works as a snapshot of your PhotonVision data that can be restored at any point.
- Before every match, check the ethernet connection going into your coprocessor and that it is seated fully.
- Ensure that exposure is as low as possible and that you don't have the dashboard up when you don't need it to reduce bandwidth.

# Romi Installation
The [Romi](https://docs.wpilib.org/en/latest/docs/romi-robot/index.html) is a small robot that can be controlled with the WPILib software. The main controller is a Raspberry Pi that must be imaged with [WPILibPi](https://docs.wpilib.org/en/latest/docs/romi-robot/imaging-romi.html) .
## Installation
The WPILibPi image includes FRCVision, which reserves USB cameras; to use PhotonVision, we need to edit the `/home/pi/runCamera` script to disable it. First we will need to make the file system writeable; the easiest way to do this is to go to `10.0.0.2` and choose "Writable" at the top.
SSH into the Raspberry Pi (using Windows command line, or a tool like [Putty](https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/) ) at the Romi's default address `10.0.0.2`. The default user is `pi`, and the password is `raspberry`.
:::.. The following paragraph can be restored when WPILibPi becomes compatible with the current version of PhotonVision.
:::.. Follow the process for installing PhotonVision on {ref}`"Other Debian-Based Co-Processor Installation" <docs/advanced-installation/sw_install/other-coprocessors:Other Debian-Based Co-Processor Installation>`. As it mentions, this will require an internet connection so connecting the Raspberry Pi to an internet-connected router via an Ethernet cable will be the easiest solution. The pi must remain writable while you are following these steps!
:::..Temporary instructions explaining how to install the older version of PhotonVision on a Romi. Remove when no longer needed.
:::{attention}
The version of WPILibPi for the Romi is 2023.2.1, which is not compatible with the current version of PhotonVision. **If you are using WPILibPi 2023.2.1 on your Romi, you must install PhotonVision v2023.4.2 or earlier!**
To install a compatible version of PhotonVision, enter these commands in the SSH terminal connected to the Raspberry Pi. This will download and run the install script, which will install PhotonVision on your Raspberry Pi and configure it to run at startup.
```bash
$ wget https://git.io/JJrEP -O install.sh
$ sudo chmod +x install.sh
$ sudo ./install.sh -v v2023.4.2
```
The install script requires an internet connection, so connecting the Raspberry Pi to an internet-connected router via an Ethernet cable will be the easiest solution. The pi must remain writable while you are following these steps!
:::
:::..End of temporary instructions.
Next, from the SSH terminal, run `sudo nano /home/pi/runCamera` then arrow down to the start of the exec line and press "Enter" to add a new line. Then add `#` before the exec command to comment it out. Then, arrow up to the new line and type `sleep 10000`. Hit "Ctrl + O" and then "Enter" to save the file. Finally press "Ctrl + X" to exit nano. Now, reboot the Romi by typing `sudo reboot now`.
```{image} images/nano.png
```
After the Romi reboots, you should be able to open the PhotonVision UI at: [`http://10.0.0.2:5800/`](http://10.0.0.2:5800/). From here, you can adjust settings and configure {ref}`Pipelines <docs/pipelines/index:Pipelines>`.
:::{warning}
In order for settings, logs, etc. to be saved / take effect, ensure that PhotonVision is in writable mode.

When using an older version of PhotonVision, the user interface and features may be different than what appears in the online documentation.

### Target Family
Target families are defined by two numbers (before and after the h). The first number is the number of bits the tag is able to encode (which means more tags are available in the respective family) and the second is the hamming distance. Hamming distance describes the ability for error correction while identifying tag ids. A high hamming distance generally means that it will be easier for a tag to be identified even if there are errors. However, as hamming distance increases, the number of available tags decreases. The 2024 FRC game will be using 36h11 tags, which can be found [here](https://github.com/AprilRobotics/apriltag-imgs/tree/master/tag36h11).

It is ~2x higher fps and ~2x lower latency than the AprilTag pipeline type, but is less accurate. We recommend this pipeline type for teams that need to run at a higher framerate or have a lower powered device. This pipeline type is new for the 2024 season and is not as well tested as AprilTag.

Unit tests can instead be debugged through the ``test`` Gradle task for a specific subproject in VSCode, found in the Gradle tab:

- VIDEO DEVICE PATH: a CSCore-provided identifier derived from the V4L path `/dev/video[N]` on Linux, or an opaque string on Windows
- UNIQUE NAME: an identifier that is unique within the set of all deserialized CameraConfigurations and unmatched USB cameras
- I don't love this, it means that a USB camera matched to a VisionModule will share a UNIQUE NAME, right?
- DESERIALIZED CAMERA CONFIGURATIONS: The set of camera configurations loaded from disk and provided to the VisionSourceManager. This configuration data structure includes the UNIQUE NAME
- CURRENTLY ACTIVE CAMERAS: The set of VisionModules currently active and processing vision data, and associated metadata
## Startup:

<br>WHEN a VisionModule is created
<br>THEN The VisionModule shall open the camera using the USB path
- GIVEN A CameraConfiguration without a valid USB path
<br>WHEN a VisionModule is created
<br>THEN The VisionModule shall open the camera using the VIDEO DEVICE PATH

<br>WHEN I request a new VisionModule is created for this NEW USB CAMERA
<br>AND the camera has a VALID USB PATH
<br>AND the camera's VALID USB PATH is not in use by any CURRENTLY ACTIVE CAMERAS

# Latency Characterization
## A primer on time
Especially starting around 2022 with AprilTags making localization easier, providing a way to know when a camera image was captured at became more important for localization.
Since the [creation of USBFrameProvider](https://github.com/PhotonVision/photonvision/commit/f92bf670ded52b59a00352a4a49c277f01bae305), we used the time [provided by CSCore](https://github.wpilib.org/allwpilib/docs/release/java/edu/wpi/first/cscore/CvSink.html#grabFrame(org.opencv.core.Mat)) to tell when a camera image was captured at, but just keeping track of "CSCore told us frame N was captured 104.21s after the Raspberry Pi turned on" isn't very helpful. We can decompose this into asking:
- At what time was a particular image captured at, in the coprocessor's timebase?
- How do I convert a time in a coprocessor's timebase into the RoboRIO's timebase, so I can integrate the measurement with my other sensor measurements (like encoders)?
The first one seems easy - CSCore tells us the time, so just keep track of that? Should be easy. For the second, translating this time, as measured by the coprocessor's clock, into a timebase also used by user code on the RoboRIO, is actually a [fairly hard problem](time-sync.md) that involved reinventing [PTP](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PTP).
And on latency vs timestamps - PhotonVision has exposed a magic "latency" number since forever, but latency (as in, the time from image capture to acting on data) can be useful for benchmarking code, but robots actually want to answer "what time was this image from, relative to "?
## CSCore's Frame Time
WPILib's CSCore is a platform-agnostic wrapper around Windows, Linux, and MacOS camera APIs. On Linux, CSCore uses [Video4Linux](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video4Linux) to access USB Video Class (UVC) devices like webcams, as well as CSI cameras on some platforms. At a high level, CSCore's [Linux USB Camera driver](https://github.com/wpilibsuite/allwpilib/blob/17a03514bad6de195639634b3d57d5ac411d601e/cscore/src/main/native/linux/UsbCameraImpl.cpp) works by:
- Opening a camera with `open`
- Creating and `mmap`ing a handful of buffers V4L will fill with frame data into program memory
- Asking V4L to start streaming
- While the camera is running:
- Wait for new frames
- Dequeue one buffer
- Call `SourceImpl::PutFrame`, which will copy the image out and convert as needed
- Return the buffer to V4L to fill again
Prior to https://github.com/wpilibsuite/allwpilib/pull/7609, CSCore used the [time it dequeued the buffer at](https://github.com/wpilibsuite/allwpilib/blob/17a03514bad6de195639634b3d57d5ac411d601e/cscore/src/main/native/linux/UsbCameraImpl.cpp#L559) as the image capture time. But this doesn't account for exposure time or latency introduced by the camera + USB stack + Linux itself.
V4L does expose (with some [very heavy caveats](https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/fc033cf25e612e840e545f8d5ad2edd6ba613ed5/drivers/media/usb/uvc/uvc_video.c#L600) for some troublesome cameras) its best guess at the time an image was captured at via [buffer flags](https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v4.9/media/uapi/v4l/buffer.html#buffer-flags). In my testing, all my cameras were able to provide timestamps with both these flags set:
- `V4L2_BUF_FLAG_TIMESTAMP_MONOTONIC`: The buffer timestamp has been taken from the CLOCK_MONOTONIC clock [...] accessible via `clock_gettime()`.
- `V4L2_BUF_FLAG_TSTAMP_SRC_SOE`: Start Of Exposure. The buffer timestamp has been taken when the exposure of the frame has begun.
I'm sure that we'll find a camera that doesn't play nice, because we can't have nice things :). But until then, using this timestamp gets us a free accuracy bump.
Other things to note: This gets us an estimate at when the camera *started* collecting photons. The camera's sensor will remain collecting light for up to the total integration time, plus readout time for rolling shutter cameras.
## Latency Testing
Here, I've got a RoboRIO with an LED, an Orange Pi 5, and a network switch on a test bench. The LED is assumed to turn on basically instantly once we apply current, and based on DMA testing, the total time to switch a digital output on is on the order of 10uS. The RoboRIO is running a TimeSync Server, and the Orange Pi is running a TimeSync Client.

</details>
I've decreased camera exposure as much as possible (so we know with reasonable confidence that the image was collected right at the start of the exposure time reported by V4L), but we only get back new images at 60fps. So we don't know when between frame N and N+1 the LED turned on - just that sometime between now and 1/60th of a second a go, the LED turned on.
The test coprocessor was an Orange Pi 5 running a PhotonVision 2025 (Ubuntu 24.04 based) image, with an ArduCam OV9782 at 1280x800, 60fps, MJPG running a reflective pipeline.
### Test Results
The videos above show the difference between when the RoboRIO turned the LED on and when PhotonVision first seeing a camera frame with the LED on, what I've called error and plotted in yellow with units of seconds. This error decreases when I use the frame time reported by V4L from a mean delta of 26 ms to a mean delta of 11 ms (below the maximum temporal resolution of my camera).

```
With the camera capturing at 60fps, the time between successive frames is only ~16.7 ms, so I don't expect to be able to resolve anything smaller. Given sufficient time and with perfect latency compensation, and with more noise in the robot program to make sure we vary LED toggle times, I'd expect the error to converge to ~half the interval between frames - so being within this frame interval with CSCore updates is a very good sign.
### Future Work
This test also makes no effort to isolate error from time synchronization from error introduced by frame time measurement - we're just interested in overall error. Future work could investigate the latency contribution

Now that you have properly set up your vision system and have tuned a pipeline, you can now aim your robot at an AprilTag using the data from PhotonVision. The _yaw_ of the target is the critical piece of data that will be needed first.
Yaw is reported to the roboRIO over Network Tables. PhotonLib, our vender dependency, is the easiest way to access this data.

- Ethernet port for networking
Note these are bare minimums. Most high-performance vision processing will require higher specs.
### Coprocessor Recommendations
When selecting a coprocessor, it is important to consider various factors, particularly when it comes to AprilTag detection. Opting for a coprocessor with a more powerful CPU can generally result in higher FPS AprilTag detection, leading to more accurate pose estimation. However, it is important to note that there is a point of diminishing returns, where the benefits of a more powerful CPU may not outweigh the additional cost. Below is a list of supported hardware, along with some notes on each.
Vision processing on one camera stream is usually a CPU-bound operation. Some operations are able to be done in parallel, but not all. USB bandwidth and network data transfer also cause a fixed overhead.
Faster CPU's generally result in lower latency, but eventually with diminishing returns. More cores allow for some improvement, especially if multiple camera streams are being processed.
PhotonVision is most commonly tested around Raspbian (Debian-based) operating systems.
Other coprocessors can be used but may require some extra work / command line usage in order to get it working properly.
### Power Supply
Coprocessors need a steady, regulated power supply. Under-volting the processor will result in CPU throttling, low performance, unexpected reboots, and sometimes electrical damage. Many coprocessors draw 5-10 amps of current.
Be sure to select a power supply which regulate's the robot's variable battery voltage into something steady that the robot can use.
### Storage Media
Most single-board computer coprocessors use micro SD cards as their storage media.
Three important considerations include total storage space, read/write speed, and robustness.
PhotonVision is not usually disk-bound, other than during coprocessor boot-up and initial startup. Some disk writing is done at runtime for logging, settings, and saving camera images on command.
Better storage space and read/write speed mostly matter if image capture is used frequently on the field.
Industrial-grade SD cards are recommended for their stability under shock, vibration, variable voltage, and power-off. Raspberry Pi and Orange Pi coprocessors are generally robust against robot power interruptions, teams have anecdotally reported that Sandisk industrial SD cards reduce the chances of an unexpected settings or log file corruption on shutdown.
- Orange Pi 5 (\$99)
- This is the recommended coprocessor for most teams. It has a powerful CPU that can handle AprilTag detection at high FPS, and is relatively cheap compared to processors of a similar power.
- Raspberry Pi 4/5 (\$55-\$80)
- This is the recommended coprocessor for teams on a budget. It has a less powerful CPU than the Orange Pi 5, but is still capable of running PhotonVision at a reasonable FPS.
- Mini PCs (such as Beelink N5095)
- This coprocessor will likely have similar performance to the Orange Pi 5 but has a higher performance ceiling (when using more powerful CPUs). Do note that this would require extra effort to wire to the robot / get set up. More information can be found in the set up guide [here.](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1lOSzG8iNE43cK-PgJDDzbwtf6ASyf4vbW8lQuFswxzw/edit?usp=drivesdk)
- Other coprocessors can be used but may require some extra work / command line usage in order to get it working properly.
## Choosing a Camera
PhotonVision works with Pi Cameras and most USB Cameras, the recommendations below are known to be working and have been tested. Other cameras such as webcams, virtual cameras, etc. are not officially supported and may not work. It is important to note that fisheye cameras should only be used as a driver camera and not for detecting targets.
PhotonVision relies on [CSCore](https://github.com/wpilibsuite/allwpilib/tree/main/cscore) to detect and process cameras, so camera support is determined based off compatibility with CScore along with native support for the camera within your OS (ex. [V4L compatibility](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video4Linux)).

[V4L compatibility](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video4Linux) if using a Linux machine like a Raspberry Pi).
PhotonVision attempts to support most USB Cameras. Exceptions include:
:::{note}
Logitech Cameras and integrated laptop cameras will not work with PhotonVision due to oddities with their drivers. We recommend using a different camera.
:::
- All Logitech brand cameras
- Logitech uses a non-standard driver which is not currently supported
- Built-in webcams
- Driver support is too varied. Some may happen to work, but most have been found to be non-functional
- virtual cameras (OBS, Snapchat camera, etc.)
- PhotonVision assumes the camera has real physical hardware to control - these do not expose the minimum number of controls.
:::{note}
We do not currently support the usage of two of the same camera on the same coprocessor. You can only use two or more cameras if they are of different models or they are from Arducam, which has a [tool that allows for cameras to be renamed](https://docs.arducam.com/UVC-Camera/Serial-Number-Tool-Guide/).
:::
Use caution when using multiple identical cameras, as only the physical USB port they are plugged into can differentiate them. PhotonVision provides a "strict matching" setting which can reduce errors related to identical cameras. Arducam has a [tool that allows for identical cameras to be renamed](https://docs.arducam.com/UVC-Camera/Serial-Number-Tool-Guide/) by their physical location or purpose.
### Recommended Cameras
For colored shape detection, any non-fisheye camera supported by PhotonVision will work. We recommend the Pi Camera V1 or a high fps USB camera.
### Cameras Attributes
For driver camera, we recommend a USB camera with a fisheye lens, so your driver can see more of the field.
For colored shape detection, any non-fisheye camera supported by PhotonVision will work.
For AprilTag detection, we recommend you use a global shutter camera that has ~100 degree diagonal FOV. This will allow you to see more AprilTags in frame, and will allow for more accurate pose estimation. You also want a camera that supports high FPS, as this will allow you to update your pose estimator at a higher frequency.
For driver camera, we recommend a USB camera with a fisheye lens, so your driver can see more of the field. Use the minimum acceptable resolution to help keep latency low.
- Recommendations For AprilTag Detection
- Arducam USB OV9281
- This is the recommended camera for AprilTag detection as it is a high FPS, global shutter camera USB camera that has a ~70 degree FOV.
- Innomaker OV9281
- Spinel AR0144
- Pi Camera Module V1
- The V1 is strongly preferred over the V2 due to the V2 having undesirable FOV choices
For AprilTag detection, we recommend you use a camera that has ~100 degree diagonal FOV. This will allow you to see more AprilTags in frame, and will allow for more accurate pose estimation. You also want a camera that supports high FPS, as this will allow you to update your pose estimator at a higher frequency.
### AprilTags and Motion Blur
For object detection, we recommend a USB camera. Some fisheye lenses may be ok, but very wide angle cameras may distort the gamepiece beyond recognition.
When detecting AprilTags, you want to reduce the "motion blur" as much as possible. Motion blur is the visual streaking/smearing on the camera stream as a result of movement of the camera or object of focus. You want to mitigate this as much as possible because your robot is constantly moving and you want to be able to read as many tags as you possibly can. The possible solutions to this include:
Global shutter cameras are recommended in all cases, to reduce rolling-shutter image sheer while the robot is moving.
1. Cranking your exposure as low as it goes and increasing your gain/brightness. This will decrease the effects of motion blur and increase FPS.
2. Using a global shutter (as opposed to rolling shutter) camera. This should eliminate most, if not all motion blur.
3. Only rely on tags when not moving.
```{image} images/motionblur.gif
```{image} images/rollingshutter.gif
:align: center
```
Cameras capable of capturing a good image with very short exposures will also help reduce image blur. Usually, high-FPS-capable cameras designed for computer vision are better at this than "consumer-grade" USB webcams.
### Using Multiple Cameras
Using multiple cameras on your robot will help you detect more AprilTags at once and improve your pose estimation as a result. In order to use multiple cameras, you will need to create multiple PhotonPoseEstimators and add all of their measurements to a single drivetrain pose estimator. Please note that the accuracy of your robot to camera transform is especially important when using multiple cameras as any error in the transform will cause your pose estimations to "fight" each other. For more information, see {ref}`the programming reference. <docs/programming/index:programming reference>`.
Keeping the target(s) in view of the robot often requires more than one camera. PhotonVision has no hardcoded limit on the number of cameras supported. The limit is usually dependant on CPU (can all frames be processed fast enough?) and USB bandwidth (Can all cameras send their images without overwhelming the bus?).
Note that cameras are not synchronized together. Frames are captured and processed asynchronously. Robot Code must fuse estimates together. For more information, see {ref}`the programming reference. <docs/programming/index:programming reference>`.

# Networking
## Physical Networking
:::{note}
When using PhotonVision off robot, you *MUST* plug the coprocessor into a physical router/radio. You can then connect your laptop/device used to view the webdashboard to the same network. Any other networking setup will not work and will not be supported in any capacity.
:::
After imaging your coprocessor, run an ethernet cable from your coprocessor to a router/radio and power on your coprocessor by plugging it into the wall. Then connect whatever device you're using to view the webdashboard to the same network and navigate to photonvision.local:5800.
PhotonVision *STRONGLY* recommends the usage of a network switch on your robot. This is because the second radio port on the current FRC radios is known to be buggy and cause frequent connection issues that are detrimental during competition. An in-depth guide on how to install a network switch can be found [on FRC 900's website](https://team900.org/blog/ZebraSwitch/).
```{image} images/networking-diagram.png
:alt: Correctly set static IP
```
## Digital Networking
PhotonVision *STRONGLY* recommends the usage of Static IPs as it increases reliability on the field and when using PhotonVision in general. To properly set up your static IP, follow the steps below:
:::{warning}
Only use a static IP when connected to the **robot radio**, and never when testing at home, unless you are well versed in networking or have the relevant "know how".
:::
1. Ensure your robot is on and you are connected to the robot network.
2. Navigate to `photonvision.local:5800` (this may be different if you are using a Gloworm / Limelight) in your browser.
3. Open the settings tab on the left pane.
4. Under the Networking section, set your team number.
5. Change your IP to Static.
6. Set your coprocessor's IP address to “10.TE.AM.11”. More information on IP format can be found [here](https://docs.wpilib.org/en/stable/docs/networking/networking-introduction/ip-configurations.html#on-the-field-static-configuration).
7. Click the “Save” button.
8. Set your roboRIO to the following static IP address: “10.TE.AM.2”. This can be done via the [roboRIO web dashboard](https://docs.wpilib.org/en/stable/docs/software/roborio-info/roborio-web-dashboard.html#roborio-web-dashboard).
Power-cycle your robot and then you will now be access the PhotonVision dashboard at `10.TE.AM.11:5800`.
```{image} images/static.png
:alt: Correctly set static IP
```
## Port Forwarding
If you would like to access your Ethernet-connected vision device from a computer when tethered to the USB port on the roboRIO, you can use [WPILib's](https://docs.wpilib.org/en/stable/docs/networking/networking-utilities/portforwarding.html) `PortForwarder`.
```{eval-rst}
.. tab-set-code::
.. code-block:: Java
PortForwarder.add(5800, "photonvision.local", 5800);
.. code-block:: C++
wpi::PortForwarder::GetInstance().Add(5800, "photonvision.local", 5800);
.. code-block:: Python
# Coming Soon!
```
:::{note}
The address in the code above (`photonvision.local`) is the hostname of the coprocessor. This can be different depending on your hardware, and can be checked in the settings tab under "hostname".
:::
## Camera Stream Ports
The camera streams start at they begin at 1181 with two ports for each camera (ex. 1181 and 1182 for camera one, 1183 and 1184 for camera two, etc.). The easiest way to identify the port of the camera that you want is by double clicking on the stream, which opens it in a separate page. The port will be listed below the stream.

# Gloworm Installation
While not currently in production, PhotonVision still supports Gloworm vision processing cameras.
## Downloading the Gloworm Image
Download the latest [Gloworm/Limelight release of PhotonVision](https://github.com/photonvision/photonvision/releases); the image will be suffixed with "image_limelight2.xz". You do not need to extract the downloaded archive.
## Flashing the Gloworm Image
Plug a USB C cable from your computer into the USB C port on Gloworm labeled with a download icon.
Use the 1.18.11 version of [Balena Etcher](https://github.com/balena-io/etcher/releases/tag/v1.18.11) to flash an image onto the coprocessor.
Run BalenaEtcher as an administrator. Select the downloaded `.zip` file.
Select the compute module. If it doesn't show up after 30s try using another USB port, initialization may take a while. If prompted, install the recommended missing drivers.
Hit flash. Wait for flashing to complete, then disconnect your USB C cable.
:::{warning}
Using a version of Balena Etcher older than 1.18.11 may cause bootlooping (the system will repeatedly boot and restart) when imaging your Gloworm. Updating to 1.18.11 will fix this issue.
:::
## Final Steps
Power your device per its documentation and connect it to a robot network.
You should be able to locate the camera at `http://photonvision.local:5800/` in your browser on your computer when connected to the robot.
## Troubleshooting/Setting a Static IP
A static IP address may be used as an alternative to the mDNS `photonvision.local` address.
Download and run [Angry IP Scanner](https://angryip.org/download/#windows) to find PhotonVision/your coprocessor on your network.
```{image} images/angryIP.png
```

# Limelight Installation
## Imaging
Limelight imaging is a very similar process to Gloworm, but with extra steps.
### Base Install Steps
Due to the similarities in hardware, follow the {ref}`Gloworm install instructions <docs/installation/sw_install/gloworm:Gloworm Installation>`.
## Hardware-Specific Steps
Download the hardwareConfig.json file for the version of your Limelight:
- {download}`Limelight Version 2 <files/Limelight2/hardwareConfig.json>`.
- {download}`Limelight Version 2+ <files/Limelight2+/hardwareConfig.json>`.
:::{note}
No hardware config is provided for the Limelight 3 as AprilTags do not require the LEDs (meaning nobody has reverse-engineered what I/O pins drive the LEDs) and the camera FOV is determined as part of calibration.
:::
{ref}`Import the hardwareConfig.json file <docs/additional-resources/config:Importing and Exporting Settings>`. Again, this is **REQUIRED** or target measurements will be incorrect, and LEDs will not work.
After installation you should be able to [locate the camera](https://photonvision.github.io/gloworm-docs/docs/quickstart/#finding-gloworm) at: `http://photonvision.local:5800/` (not `gloworm.local`, as previously)

# Orange Pi Installation
## Downloading Linux Image
Starting in 2024, PhotonVision provides pre-configured system images for Orange Pi 5 devices. Download the latest release of the PhotonVision Orange Pi 5 image (.xz file suffixed with `orangepi5.xz`) from the [releases page](https://github.com/PhotonVision/photonvision/releases). You do not need to extract the downloaded archive file. This image is configured with a `pi` user with password `raspberry`.
For an Orange Pi 4, download the latest release of the Armbian Bullseye CLI image from [here](https://armbian.tnahosting.net/archive/orangepi4/archive/Armbian_23.02.2_Orangepi4_bullseye_current_5.15.93.img.xz).
## Flashing the Pi Image
An 8GB or larger SD card is recommended.
Use the 1.18.11 version of [Balena Etcher](https://github.com/balena-io/etcher/releases/tag/v1.18.11) to flash an image onto a Orange Pi. Select the downloaded image file, select your microSD card, and flash.
For more detailed instructions on using Etcher, please see the [Etcher website](https://www.balena.io/etcher/).
:::{warning}
Using a version of Balena Etcher older than 1.18.11 may cause bootlooping (the system will repeatedly boot and restart) when imaging your Orange Pi. Updating to 1.18.11 will fix this issue.
:::
Alternatively, you can use the [Raspberry Pi Imager](https://www.raspberrypi.com/software/) to flash the image.
Select "Choose OS" and then "Use custom" to select the downloaded image file. Select your microSD card and flash.
:::{note}
If you are working on Linux, "dd" can be used in the command line to flash an image.
:::
If you're using an Orange Pi 5, that's it! Orange Pi 4 users will need to install PhotonVision (see below).
### Initial User Setup (Orange Pi 4 Only)
Insert the flashed microSD card into your Orange Pi and boot it up. The first boot may take a few minutes as the Pi expands the filesystem. Be sure not to unplug during this process.
Plug your Orange Pi into a display via HDMI and plug in a keyboard via USB once its powered up. For an Orange Pi 4, complete the initial set up which involves creating a root password and adding a user, as well as setting localization language. Additionally, choose “bash” when prompted.

# Romi Installation
The [Romi](https://docs.wpilib.org/en/latest/docs/romi-robot/index.html) is a small robot that can be controlled with the WPILib software. The main controller is a Raspberry Pi that must be imaged with [WPILibPi](https://docs.wpilib.org/en/latest/docs/romi-robot/imaging-romi.html) .
## Installation
The WPILibPi image includes FRCVision, which reserves USB cameras; to use PhotonVision, we need to edit the `/home/pi/runCamera` script to disable it. First we will need to make the file system writeable; the easiest way to do this is to go to `10.0.0.2` and choose "Writable" at the top.
SSH into the Raspberry Pi (using Windows command line, or a tool like [Putty](https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/) ) at the Romi's default address `10.0.0.2`. The default user is `pi`, and the password is `raspberry`.
Follow the process for installing PhotonVision on {ref}`"Other Debian-Based Co-Processor Installation" <docs/installation/sw_install/other-coprocessors:Other Debian-Based Co-Processor Installation>`. As it mentions this will require an internet connection so plugging into the ethernet jack on the Raspberry Pi will be the easiest solution. The pi must remain writable!
Next, from the SSH terminal, run `sudo nano /home/pi/runCamera` then arrow down to the start of the exec line and press "Enter" to add a new line. Then add `#` before the exec command to comment it out. Then, arrow up to the new line and type `sleep 10000`. Hit "Ctrl + O" and then "Enter" to save the file. Finally press "Ctrl + X" to exit nano. Now, reboot the Romi by typing `sudo reboot`.
```{image} images/nano.png
```
After it reboots, you should be able to [locate the PhotonVision UI](https://photonvision.github.io/gloworm-docs/docs/quickstart/#finding-gloworm) at: `http://10.0.0.2:5800/`.

# Updating PhotonVision
PhotonVision provides many different files on a single release page. Each release contains JAR files for performing "offline updates" of a device with PhotonVision already installed, as well as full image files to "flash" to supported coprocessors.
```{image} images/release-page.png
:alt: Example GitHub release page
```
In the example release above, we see:
- Image files for flashing directly to supported coprocessors.
- Raspberry Pi 3/4/5/CM4: follow our {ref}`Raspberry Pi flashing instructions<docs/installation/sw_install/raspberry-pi:raspberry pi installation>`.
- For LimeLight devices: follow our {ref}`LimeLight flashing instructions<docs/installation/sw_install/limelight:imaging>`.
- For Orange Pi 5 devices: follow our {ref}`Orange Pi flashing instructions<docs/installation/sw_install/orange-pi:orange pi installation>`.
- JAR files for the suite of supported operating systems for use with Offline Update. In general:
- Raspberry Pi, Limelight, and Orange Pi: use images suffixed with -linuxarm64.jar. For example: {code}`photonvision-v2024.1.1-linuxarm64.jar`
- Beelink and other Intel/AMD-based Mini-PCs: use images suffixed with -linuxx64.jar. For example: {code}`photonvision-v2024.1.1-linuxx64.jar`
## Offline Update
Unless noted in the release page, an offline update allows you to quickly upgrade the version of PhotonVision running on a coprocessor with PhotonVision already installed on it.
Unless otherwise noted on the release page, config files should be backward compatible with previous version of PhotonVision, and this offline update process should preserve any pipelines and calibrations previously performed. For paranoia, we suggest exporting settings from the Settings tab prior to performing an offline update.
:::{note}
Carefully review release notes to ensure that reflashing the device (for supported devices) or other installation steps are not required, as dependencies needed for PhotonVision may change between releases
:::
## Installing Pre-Release Versions
Pre-release/development version of PhotonVision can be tested by installing/downloading artifacts from Github Actions (see below), which are built automatically on commits to open pull requests and to PhotonVision's `master` branch, or by {ref}`compiling PhotonVision locally <docs/contributing/building-photon:Build Instructions>`.
:::{warning}
If testing a pre-release version of PhotonVision with a robot, PhotonLib must be updated to match the version downloaded! If not, packet schema definitions may not match and unexpected things will occur. To update PhotonLib, refer to {ref}`installing specific version of PhotonLib<docs/programming/photonlib/adding-vendordep:Install Specific Version - Java/C++>`.
:::
GitHub Actions builds pre-release version of PhotonVision automatically on PRs and on each commit merged to master. To test a particular commit to master, navigate to the [PhotonVision commit list](https://github.com/PhotonVision/photonvision/commits/master/) and click on the check mark (below). Scroll to "Build / Build fat JAR - PLATFORM", click details, and then summary. From here, JAR and image files can be downloaded to be flashed or uploaded using "Offline Update".

# Wiring
## Off-Robot Wiring
Plugging your coprocessor into the wall via a power brick will suffice for off robot wiring.
:::{note}
Please make sure your chosen power supply can provide enough power for your coprocessor. Undervolting (where enough power isn't being supplied) can cause many issues.
:::
## On-Robot Wiring
:::{note}
We recommend users use the [SnakeEyes Pi Hat](https://www.playingwithfusion.com/productview.php?pdid=133) as it provides passive power over ethernet (POE) and other useful features to simplify wiring and make your life easier.
:::
### Recommended: Coprocessor with Passive POE (Gloworm, Pi with SnakeEyes, Limelight)
1. Plug the [passive POE injector](https://www.revrobotics.com/rev-11-1210/) into the coprocessor and wire it to PDP/PDH (NOT the VRM).
2. Add a breaker to relevant slot in your PDP/PDH
3. Run an ethernet cable from the passive POE injector to your network switch / radio (we *STRONGLY* recommend the usage of a network switch, see the [networking](networking.md) section for more info.)
### Coprocessor without Passive POE
1a. Option 1: Get a micro USB (may be USB-C if using a newer Pi) pigtail cable and connect the wire ends to a regulator like [this](https://www.pololu.com/product/4082). Then, wire the regulator into your PDP/PDH and the Micro USB / USB C into your coprocessor.
1b. Option 2: Use a USB power bank to power your coprocessor. Refer to this year's robot rulebook on legal implementations of this.
2. Run an ethernet cable from your Pi to your network switch / radio (we *STRONGLY* recommend the usage of a network switch, see the [networking](networking.md) section for more info.)
This diagram shows how to use the recommended regulator to power a coprocessor.
```{image} images/pololu-diagram.png
:alt: A flowchart-type diagram showing how to connect wires from the PDP or PDH to
: the recommended voltage regulator and then a Coprocessor.
```
:::{note}
The regulator comes with optional screw terminals that may be used to connect the PDP/PDH and Coprocessor power wires if you do not wish to solder them.

## How does it work?
PhotonVision supports object detection using neural network accelerator hardware built into Orange Pi 5/5+ coprocessors. The Neural Processing Unit, or NPU, is [used by PhotonVision](https://github.com/PhotonVision/rknn_jni/tree/main) to massively accelerate certain math operations like those needed for running ML-based object detection.
PhotonVision supports object detection using neural network accelerator hardware built into Orange Pi 5/5+ coprocessors. Please note that the Orange Pi 5/5+ are the only coprocessors that are currently supported. The Neural Processing Unit, or NPU, is [used by PhotonVision](https://github.com/PhotonVision/rknn_jni/tree/main) to massively accelerate certain math operations like those needed for running ML-based object detection.
For the 2024 season, PhotonVision ships with a **pre-trained NOTE detector** (shown above), as well as a mechanism for swapping in custom models. Future development will focus on enabling lower friction management of multiple custom models.
```{image} images/notes-ui.png
```
For the 2025 season, PhotonVision ships with a pretrained ALGAE model. A model to detect coral is not currently stable, and interested teams should ask in the Photonvision discord.
## Tracking Objects
Before you get started with object detection, ensure that you have followed the previous sections on installation, wiring, and networking. Next, open the Web UI, go to the top right card, and switch to the “Object Detection” type. You should see a screen similar to the image above.
PhotonVision currently ships with a NOTE detector based on a [YOLOv5 model](https://docs.ultralytics.com/yolov5/). This model is trained to detect one or more object "classes" (such as cars, stoplights, or in our case, NOTES) in an input image. For each detected object, the model outputs a bounding box around where in the image the object is located, what class the object belongs to, and a unitless confidence between 0 and 1.

:::{note}
This model output means that while its fairly easy to say that "this rectangle probably contains a NOTE", we don't have any information about the NOTE's orientation or location. Further math in user code would be required to make estimates about where an object is physically located relative to the camera.

The same area, aspect ratio, and target orientation/sort parameters from {ref}`reflective pipelines <docs/reflectiveAndShape/contour-filtering:Reflective>` are also exposed in the object detection card.
## Letterboxing
Photonvision will letterbox your camera frame to 640x640. This means that if you select a resolution that is larger than 640 it will be scaled down to fit inside a 640x640 frame with black bars if needed. Smaller frames will be scaled up with black bars if needed.
## Training Custom Models
Coming soon!
:::{warning}
Power users only. This requires some setup, such as obtaining your own dataset and installing various tools. It's additionally advised to have a general knowledge of ML before attempting to train your own model. Additionally, this is not officially supported by Photonvision, and any problems that may arise are not attributable to Photonvision.
:::
Before beginning, it is necessary to install the [rknn-toolkit2](https://github.com/airockchip/rknn-toolkit2). Then, install the relevant [Ultralytics repository](https://github.com/airockchip?tab=repositories&q=yolo&type=&language=&sort=) from this list. After training your model, export it to `rknn`. This will give you an `onnx` file, formatted for conversion. Copy this file to the relevant folder in [rknn_model_zoo](https://github.com/airockchip/rknn_model_zoo), and use the conversion script located there to convert it. If necessary, modify the script to provide the path to your training database for quantization.
## Uploading Custom Models
:::{warning}
PhotonVision currently ONLY supports YOLOv5 models trained and converted to `.rknn` format for RK3588 CPUs! Other models require different post-processing code and will NOT work. The model conversion process is also highly particular. Proceed with care.

:::
Our [pre-trained NOTE model](https://github.com/PhotonVision/photonvision/blob/master/photon-server/src/main/resources/models/note-640-640-yolov5s.rknn) is automatically extracted from the JAR when PhotonVision starts, only if a file named “note-640-640-yolov5s.rknn” and "labels.txt" does not exist in the folder `photonvision_config/models/`. This technically allows power users to replace the model and label files with new ones without rebuilding Photon from source and uploading a new JAR.
Use a program like WinSCP or FileZilla to access your coprocessor's filesystem, and copy the new `.rknn` model file into /home/pi. Next, SSH into the coprocessor and `sudo mv /path/to/new/model.rknn /opt/photonvision/photonvision_config/models/note-640-640-yolov5s.rknn`. Repeat this process with the labels file, which should contain one line per label the model outputs with no training newline. Next, restart PhotonVision via the web UI.
In the settings, under `Device Control`, there's an option to upload a new object detection model. Naming convention
should be `name-verticalResolution-horizontalResolution-modelType`. The
`name` should only include alphanumeric characters, periods, and underscores. Additionally, the labels
file ought to have the same name as the RKNN file, with `-labels` appended to the end. For
example, if the RKNN file is named `Algae_1.03.2025-640-640-yolov5s.rknn`, the labels file should be
named `Algae_1.03.2025-640-640-yolov5s-labels.txt`.

# Arducam Cameras
Arducam cameras are supported for setups with multiple devices. This is possible because Arducam provides software that allows you to assign truly different device names to each camera. This feature is particularly useful in complex setups where multiple cameras are used simultaneously.
## Setting Up Arducam Cameras
1. **Download Arducam Software**: [Download and install the Arducam software from their official website.](https://docs.arducam.com/UVC-Camera/Serial-Number-Tool-Guide/)
2. **Assign Device Names**: Use the Arducam software and Arducam [documentation](https://docs.arducam.com/UVC-Camera/Serial-Number-Tool-Guide/) to give each camera a unique device name. This will help in distinguishing between multiple cameras in your setup.
## Steps to Configure in PhotonVision
1. **Open PhotonVision Settings**: Navigate to the cameras page in PhotonVision.
2. **Select Camera Model**: Select the proper camera. Use the Arducam model selector to specify the model of each Arducam camera connected to your system.
3. **Save Settings**: Ensure that you save the settings after selecting the appropriate camera model for each device.

In order to detect AprilTags and use 3D mode, your camera must be calibrated at the desired resolution! Inaccurate calibration will lead to poor performance.
:::
If youre not using cameras in 3D mode, calibration is optional, but it can still offer benefits. Calibrating cameras helps refine the pitch and yaw values, leading to more accurate positional data in every mode. {ref}`For a more in-depth view<docs/calibration/calibration:Calibrating Your Camera>`.

- Downloaded from our [demo site](http://photonvision.global/#/cameras), or directly from your coprocessors cameras tab.
- Use the Charuco calibration board:
- Board Type: Charuco
- Tag Family: 4x4
- Pattern Spacing: 1.00in
- Marker Size: 0.75in
- Board Height : 8
- Board Width : 8
## Prepare the Calibration Target
- Measure Accurately: Use calipers to measure the actual size of the squares and markers. Accurate measurements are crucial for effective calibration.
- Ensure Flatness: The calibration board must be perfectly flat, without any wrinkles or bends, to avoid introducing errors into the calibration process.
## Calibrate your Camera
- Take lots of photos: It's recommended to capture more than 50 images to properly calibrate your camera for accuracy. 12 is the bare minimum and may not provide good results.
- Other Tips
- Move the board not the camera.
- Take photos of lots of angles: The more angles the more better (up to 45 deg).
- A couple of up close images is good.
- Cover the entire cameras fov.
- Avoid images with the board facing straight towards the camera.
