Posts presenting and discussing new research or technology
A few days ago Nokia unveiled its new smartphone: the Nokia 9 PureView. It looks kind of weird (or maybe funky?) with its 5 cameras at its rear (see image above). But what’s interesting is how Nokia uses these 5 cameras to give you better quality photos with a technique called High Dynamic Range (HDR) imaging. […]
Did you know that there is now a search engine for datasets that is powered by Google? It’s something that we have been needing for years.
In this post show you some results of a paper that was published in the prestigious Nature journal. It’s on the topic of non-line-of-sight imaging or, in other words, it’s about trying to see around corners.
Heart rate estimation belongs in the field called “Vital Signal Estimation”. One famous attempt at this comes from a paper entitled “Eulerian Video Magnification for Revealing Subtle Changes in the World”
I got another great academic publication to present to you – and this publication also comes with an online interactive website for you to use to your heart’s content. The paper is from the field of image colourisation. Image colourisation (or ‘colorization’ for our US readers :P) is the act of taking a black and white […]
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 previous posts of mine I have discussed how image datasets have become crucial in the deep learning (DL) boom of computer vision of the past few years. In deep learning, neural networks are told to (more or less) autonomously discover the underlying patterns in classes of images (e.g. that bicycles are composed of two […]
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 […]
