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 […]
(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 […]
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 […]
Data mining is a big business. Everyone is analysing mouse clicks, mouse movements, customer purchase patterns. Such analysis has proven to give profitable insights that are driving businesses further than ever before. But not many people have considered data mining videos. What about all that security footage that has stacked up over the years? Can […]
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.
Deep learning has been revolutionary. But traditional computer vision not dead yet. It is still worth studying.
This paper claims to be able to reconstruct images that people are looking at or thinking about by analysing functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).
Where would a computer vision blog be without a post about the new cashier-less store recently opened to the public by Amazon? Absolutely nowhere. But I don’t need additional motivation to write about Amazon Go (as the store is called) because I am, to put it simply, thrilled and excited about this new venture. This is innovation […]
In my previous post I looked at the unprecedented growth of computer vision in the industry. 10 years ago computer vision was nowhere to be seen outside of academia. But things have since changed significantly. A telling sign of this is the consistent tripling each year of venture capital funding in computer vision. And Intel’s […]
