Idk just a thought \ No newline at end of file +Our Perceptions pipeline outputs the x and y coordinates of the blue and yellow cones. These x and y coordinates are given in global frame +every 0.1 seconds. The SVM algorithm takes in these x and y coordinates and fits a line to the data. It does this by taking the mesh frame from the +cones and passing a line through the center of the mesh frame. This line is the SVM decision boundary. After we get a rough estimate for +what the decision boundary is between the 2 colors of cones, we then downsample the points on the line to provide an equidistant line through +all of the cones in the mesh frame as a better center line for the car. + +Additionally, we also provide 2 base cones behind the cars original location to provide the SVM with an understanding of color and distance. +After we get the decision boundaries from the SVM, we then use the decision boundaries to improve coloring for our LiDAR algorithm. \ No newline at end of file
