A fancy visualization of planes intersecting – Part 2

Posted on 8 August, 2013 by Mayitzin

All right, I know I let you abandoned for a bit. But the last trip to Barcelona and the ongoing final exams in the University haven’t given me any chance to keep this. But I’m gonna take some minutes to finally write about the visualization of our planes.

In the last post we analyzed how a plane is constructed given the equation ax+by+cz = d. Then, given the parameters of this equation, I showed you how to generate its corresponding plane in Matlab.

Now I’m gonna keep this post short (sorry for the inconvenience), but here we are going to set 3 planes in a single visualization. In a third post, we’ll make all pretty and fancy.

Predator Algorithm

Posted on 26 November, 2012 by Mayitzin

The more I go into Machine Vision, the more I get amazed by the Engineering behind the most common thing around me.

Now, this post is not abut something that we can see daily now, but I’m sure it’s gonna be soon among us. Very soon. I’m talking about the Predator Algorithm (originally named TLD), developed by czech scientist Zdenek Kalal. This algorithm is implemented in such a way that the computer learns continuously detecting the features and objects in it.

Yes, it learns and with time detects easily every object. But well, nothing better than a graphical explanation of what I’m trying to explain, by the inventor himself:

The creator of this algorithm had such a success that he already started his own company to start the implementation of this great Engineering tool: TLD Vision.

These are the kind of things that really inspire.
