v3.3.0 - OSI "Fabulous Fangio"

Stay p(OSI)tive!

This is an official ASAM release of OSI. The standard can also be downloaded on the ASAM website.

Purpose

As a part of the increasing adoption of OSI in the industry, and its movement to ASAM as its home, several new use cases and extensions for OSI have been identified. This minor release highlights the work that has been done on several working packages including the introduction of brand new top level messages which extend OSI's scope beyond the specialized world of sensor modeling.

Content/Changes

• Introduced the TrafficCommand top-level message which enables event-based control of traffic participant models, e.g. with regard to a scenario specification.

• Introduced the TrafficUpdate top-level message to send updated properties of traffic participant models.

• Add new LogicalDetectionData message to SensorData, which provides detection data with respect to the reference frame of the logical/virtual sensor.

• Added a new submessage to further specify wheel data.

• Added a new field to support future trajectories of moving objects.

• Added a new subtype message to osi_lane to better align with OpenDrive's lane type information and enable traffic participant models to identify lanes on which they are supposed to move.

• Extended traffic lights and signs messages to include the model_references attribute that can be used to point out to a 3D-model.

• Add global model reference to ground truth that can be used to specify the 3D model representing the environment.

• Extended the camera sensor view configuration to better support the configuration of the simulation environment.

• Added a new field to describe the position of the steering wheel.

• Added a message MovingObjectClassification for classify-able attributes that are shared between different moving object types. Introduced the assigned lane id and the assigned lane percentage of a moving object there.

• Updated to checklist for pull requests to provide clearer orientation for all users.

• Updated the documentation of centerline and lane boundaries (ordering of the points, describing those lines).

• Updated the documentation of 3D bounding boxes.

• Update the documentation of ground clearance.

• Make handling of enums in rules check more robust, especially ones.

• Set the default compiler to C++ 11 to support protobuf>3.6.

v3.2.0 - OSI "Editorial Eaton"

Think p(OSI)tive!

Purpose:

The work on the OSI project was until now mainly organized by the BMW AG. In order to enable as many interested parties as possible to contribute to the success of the Open Simulation Interface the project has been transferred to the ASAM e.V.. This has been made public in the ASAM press release.
A new chapter in the development of OSI is now opened with the kickoff workshop leading to hopefully many project proposals streamlining the efficient future development of the interface.
Due to this we decided to focus on the improvement of processes and documentation with this release.

Content/Changes:

• Updated README according to K(eep) I(t) S(imply) S(tupid) principle

• Added Issue and Pullrequest templates

• Travis CI updated

  • Update to bionic 18.04
  • Added tests for building protobuf 2.6 and 3.0 in parallel
  • Bugfixed the display of doubled documentation

• Fixed several typos in the comments

• Added a centralized documentation in OSI-Documentation

  • Added contributors guidelines
  • Added commenting style guidelines
  • Added uniform citation style according to APA
  • Updated installation guidelines for osi in Linux and Windows
  • Added a reference in sphinx based on the generated doxygen documentation

• Added rules to the comments in order to enforce osi message validation with the OSI-Validator

• Added the rule definitions in the rules.yml

• Modularized testing of commenting style into python unit tests

• Defined a standardized file format for reading trace files (*.osi)

• Defined naming conventions of osi files

• Added a *.txt to *.osi file converter for backward compatibility

• Added a script to make traces readable for plausibility checks

• Corrected the citing style for OSI Bibtex

• Corrected unit specifications and references according to DIN (e.g. removed Unit: [ ])

• Added timestamp in osi_environment

• Added is_out_of_service bool to traffic light / traffic sign

OSI “Dynamic Duncan”, Update 2

Content/Changes:

• Bugfix:
  The version number is now correct in the VERSION file.

OSI “Dynamic Duncan”, Update 1

Content/Changes:

• Bug Fix:
  Changed open_simulation_interface target back from being a static library to a shared library, as before (this reverts an inadvertent change in v3.1.0 from previous releases).
  v3.1.0 breaks all users of the shared library (i.e. everyone building on Linux/Unix systems, and even some using the DLL on Windows).

• Improved documentation with HTML tables and images for all traffic signs.

OSI "Cosmic Coulthard", Update 1

  2. SensorView.
  3. SensorData / FeatureData.
  4. SensorViewConfiguration (used for auto-configuration of SensorView).
• Added technology-specific SensorView sub-messages to aid physical models.
• Introduced conceptual separation of “SensorModels” and “LogicModels”.
• Extended enumerations (e.g. traffic sign Type according to StVO, vehicle Type, etc.).

• Use ISO 8855 coordinate systems (incompatible with earlier OSI versions).
• Redefined DetectedXXX messages.
