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 Using Computer Vision
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”
Image Colourisation – Converting B&W Photos to Colour
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 […]
Image Completion from SIGGRAPH 2017
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 […]
The Top Image Datasets and Their Challenges
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 […]
Watch Football/Soccer on Your Tabletop using Virtual Reality
In this post I present to you quite an amazing paper I stumbled upon entitled “Soccer on Your Tabletop” from CVPR 2018.
Computer Vision in the Fashion Industry – Part 3
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 […]
Computer Vision in the Fashion Industry – Part 2
(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 […]
Computer Vision in the Fashion Industry – Part 1
(image source) (Update: this post is the first of a 3-part series. Part 2 can be found here, part 3 can be found here) Computer vision has a plethora of applications in the industry: cashier-less stores, autonomous vehicles (including those loitering on Mars), security (e.g. face recognition) – the list goes on endlessly. I’ve already […]
Generating Heatmaps from Coordinates with Kernel Density Estimation
In last week’s post I talked about plotting tracked customers or staff from video footage onto a 2D floor plan. This is an example of video analytics and data mining that can be performed on standard CCTV footage that can give you insightful information such as common movement patterns or common places of congestion at […]
