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 […]
I started out in computer vision in 2004. I was walking along the corridors of the computer science department at the University of Adelaide (in South Australia) looking at notices put up by lecturers advertising potential undergraduate thesis topics. There wasn’t much there for me until one particular topic caught my eye: developing a vision […]
In this post I will be reviewing a book called “Deep Learning for Computer Vision with Python“ (DL4CV) that was recently published by Dr Adrian Rosebrock, author of “Practical Python and OpenCV” and most notably the computer vision blog PyImageSearch. I have already (highly) talked about Dr Rosebrock before on my blog in my post […]
This is another post that has been inspired by a question posed in a forum: “What are the open research areas in image processing?”. My answer? Everything is still an open research area in image processing/computer vision! But why is this the case? You’d think that after decades of research we’d feel comfortable in saying […]
I was watching The Punisher on Netflix last week and there was a scene (no spoilers, promise) in which someone was recognised from CCTV footage by the way they were walking. “Surely, that’s another example of Hollywood BS“, I thought to myself – “there’s no way that’s even remotely possible”. So, I spent the last […]
