.. admonition:: May 2025

    We initiated the development of the **Smart Data Center**, the foundational software infrastructure for FOOD.

    This platform aims to provide a reliable and high-performance storage architecture. It features advanced conversion tools designed to transform multi-source heterogeneous sensor data into a **unified data structure**, ensuring efficient organization and retrieval.

   We did a real-world operational test of the vehicle inside SJTU:

   #. Selection of intersections of collection significance;
   #. Tests device stability over long periods of time, over long distances and at high temperatures;
   #. Training on safety precautions during data collection.

.. admonition:: December 2023 — System Optimization

   We focused on feature integration and platform optimization:

   #. Integrated complex configuration modules for Vehicle and Sensor Setup (forms and storage);
   #. Implemented advanced processing including IMU velocity calculation, H.264 video decoding, and calibration;
   #. Optimized the 3D visualization platform and merged multi-modal data streams for synchronized playback.

.. admonition:: November 2023 — End-to-End Data Loop Deployment

   We successfully implemented the full data lifecycle:

   #. Established the flow: Board Collection -> Server Storage -> Frontend Visualization;
   #. Achieved web-based rendering for Camera and LiDAR point cloud data;
   #. Standardized data transmission using H5 formatting and implemented GPS/IMU data interfaces.

.. admonition:: October 2023 — Infrastructure & Architecture Design

   We established the foundational system architecture:

   #. Designed backend database schemas and the RawData structure;
   #. Deployed development infrastructure (NAS & GitLab) and defined the technology stack;
   #. Completed the preliminary design for the Data Pre-processing Pipeline.
