• The Ancient Secrets of Computer Vision

  I will take the opportunity to call out one of my favourite libraries, BoofCV (http://boofcv.org)

  It comes with a wonderful demonstration tool that allows you to apply the various included algorithms to images and tweak the parameters in real-time – including the Hough transform. A great tool for helping to understand how these kinds of algorithms work!

  Speaking of using the vector api, I see there's a class in boofcv that converts rgb to hsv. I've previously written a simd accelerated version of rgb to hsv using the java vector api. For anybody looking to do a bit of code janitor work, converting the one-off library into something that could be contributed to /u/lessthanoptimal's project might be a worthwhile contribution.

• JavaFX .jar (from clojure) won't find "glass" when run via `java -jar`

  For instance I looked at BoofCV and all I found was : https://github.com/lessthanoptimal/BoofCV/issues/265 " the question now seems to be can you compile the library as native. The answer is probably but someone needs to try it."

• Feedback Requested on Updated BoofCV QR Code Tutorial
  1 project | reddit.com/r/qrcode | 20 Jul 2021

  There really is a community for everything on Reddit... Anyways, so I've updated the tutorial on QR Codes in BoofCV. If you're not familiar with it, BoofCV is a computer vision library that also includes a high quality QR Code scanner. Plenty of benchmarks and examples can be found on the website to back that up. Here's a link to the tutorial page and please let me know if it all makes sense. The tutorial focuses on applications which are either command line or have a GUI.

  Image processing strongly depends on what image you wanna use. To find an "auto" approach, that works for every image is nearly impossible...

  I once wrote a bookscanner app in Java (https://boofcv.org), where everything was done automatically (preprocessing, object detection / book extraction, skin detection / finger removal, deskewing, line-slope-correction and so on). It was very difficult to adjust the parameters, that at least most of the books looked good.

• Does anyone know of an open-source library that not only has object-detection but also object following?

• Testing new code: Reconstruction from an Airplane's window.
  1 project | reddit.com/r/UAVmapping | 3 Jun 2021

  A while ago I posted here (link) showing some of the software I was developing, https://boofcv.org. That effort has recently ramped up a lot more and decided to test it out during a flight to Arkansas by pointing my phone out the window. The results were better than I expected! A lot of progress has been made but still not ready yet for non developer use.

• Which is the best way to remove a fixed background?

• Show and tell for photogrammetry software I'm developing, see comments for more details.
  1 project | reddit.com/r/photogrammetry | 29 Mar 2021

  I've been developing BoofCV (a computer vision library) for a bit now and more recently its been focused on SFM/Photogrammetry. That video is a preview of an up coming improvement. Current it's limited to dense point clouds and can't generate 3D polygons. That should be added once some stability issues on larger sequences has been fixed. After the photogrammetry engine is "feature complete" I (or maybe someone else can do it) might try to create a simple application for non programmers to use. I'm trying to automate as much of the process as possible.

• mrcal - principled camera calibrations
  1 project | reddit.com/r/computervision | 1 Mar 2021

  It's included with BoofCV but I hadn't really advertised it. Maybe I'll just do a blog post since I've been sitting on this for so long. Anyways, it looks like the easy to use app calibrates but doesn't save the corners. If I add that would you be willing to give it a try? I would run mrgingham through my benchmark but it says its hard coded for 10x10.

• Implementation from scratch or open source libraries?
  1 project | reddit.com/r/computervision | 25 Feb 2021

  lol you're talking to a person who goes fairly extreme into the implement it yourself strategy. I've literally implemented the entire pipeline you need for SLAM. Not sure what field your interested in, but basically all robotics/AV companies are C++ now. There was a brief period like 5 years ago when people thought Python was a good idea (myself included), most companies abandoned that. I basically code in C++ for work and Java/Kotlin on personal projects. Well if you try coding it up using my library http://boofcv.org (not C++) I'll help you out just DM me.

• Feedback on Kotlinification of BoofCV, a Java computer vision library.
  1 project | reddit.com/r/Kotlin | 24 Feb 2021

  The developmental branch of BoofCV contains a bunch of Kotlin extensions/overloaded operations that clean up the API a bit. As a first test I wrote a few QR Code examples (Github, Medium w/video) (e.g. create, scan, estimate 3D pose) in Kotlin where many of these new features are used.
