h1. CNES-SEROM

h2. Administrative matters

* Get entrance permits for Ellon and Andrea: *Michel Delpech will check the necessary documents. It should cause no problem whatsoever*

* Make sure we can use our wifi infrastructure: *Yes*, Michel will check if authorizations are necessary but should be OK

* [Ellon adds: ] Ask if we would be given access to Internet: *Yes*, eduroam is available on site

h2. Visit of Feb. the 20th

* Things to check:

** Areas where the rovers can evolve: *See pictures below*

** Place to store the robots: *Robots will be stored in a small room near the field*, during our whole experimental campaign.

** Place to mount the GPS base (not to re-install it every day): *Yes*, probably right near the SEROM field

** [Ellon adds: ] Assess the quantity of "structure" in the terrain (more identifiable rocks, terrain relief, etc): *Lots of rocks (see pictures below)*, might be difficult to autonomously navigate the field, and we might move rocks around

** [Ellon adds: ] Take pictures (if possible) to show to Ellon and Andrea: *See pictures below*

* Questions raised by the visit

** Disponibility of the ground truth: *Yes, but not extremely precise.* We cannot make our drone fly to make our own ground truth (procedure to heavy). Anyway we might not need a precise ground truth as the quality of the DEM is not the main thing we are going to evaluate, and it is linked to the quality of localization

** Tent near the field: *Yes*, we will be able to bring a tent and tables to have an outdoor HQ

** Electricity access outside: *Yes*

** Will there be parallel experimental campaign: *Possibly*, but we won't have to fight for field access
