Posts presenting new academic papers
Oh, I love stumbling upon fascinating publications from the academic world! This post will present to you yet another one of those little gems that has recently fallen into my lap. It’s on the topic of image completion and comes from a paper published in SIGGRAPH 2017 entitled “Globally and Locally Consistent Image Completion” (project page […]
In this post I present to you quite an amazing paper I stumbled upon entitled “Soccer on Your Tabletop” from CVPR 2018.
In my last two posts (part 1 can be found here, part 2 can be found here) I’ve looked at computer vision and the fashion industry. I introduced the lucrative fashion industry and showed what Microsoft recently did in this field with computer vision. I also presented two papers from last year’s International Conference on Computer […]
(Update: this post is part 2 of a 3 part series on CV and fashion. Part 1 can be found here, part 3 can be found here.) In my last post I introduced the fashion industry and I gave an example of what Microsoft recently did in this field with computer vision. In today’s post, I […]
In this post I’m going to present to you how, where, and when computer vision was used by the Mars Exploration Rovers (MERs) that landed on Mars in 2004.
This paper claims to be able to reconstruct images that people are looking at or thinking about by analysing functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).

So, I spent the last […]
Can thermal imaging detect if you’re lying or not? It sure can! And are there frightening prospects with respect to this technology? Yes, there are! Read on to find out what scientists have recently done in this area – and all using image processing techniques. Thermal Imaging Thermal imaging (aka infrared thermography, thermographic imaging, and infrared […]
Ever thought about whether you could zoom in on someone’s eye in a photo and analyse the reflection on it? Read on to find out what research has done in this respect! A previous post of mine discussed the idea of enhancing regions in an image for better clarity much like we often see in Hollywood […]
