Thank you Eric

very interesting

Planning on implementing

No vision apps yet

C, C+

Hi 

Great Presentation. Wish I could have heard the actual talk

I have not written any software for vision systems, always stuck with hardware side.

thank you Eric,

a very late hi,

I used all sorts of programming languages from assembly to much hiher levels.

I usually program in C or assembly.

bye

Thanks Erric

The lab demo sounds interesting

Yes I have worked alot with computer algorithums

Hello again looking forward to another day

Mechatronics Engineer

Vision Applications : none at the moment

Thanks Eric; very good lecture

got to know some good stuff.

Thank you for the presentation

good session, thanks

Good presentation

Quantity, body size, Features, gender, direction, activity and etc...

Facial recognition is only the surface of what IP camera's can do.

I'm working on Security applications with Vision.

I'm an EE in the Security industry.

good day to all

Hi everyone!

good info

thank you

thanks again , will be there tomorrow again, it was good experience first time.

No plans to distribute a script, but I believe that the essential links are all in the slides.   If anything is missing, please send us email:  info@embedded-vision.com.

Thank you for this session!  Tomorrow, can we start an hour earlier and run an hour later too?  (i.e. several hours of education?)    :)

That pause in Ann's intro was scary.

re: developing a sensor system -- Hoping not to have to completely build my own -- OpenCV looks quite useful; anticipating sharing a "crowd-sourced" development environment...

Let's see -- currently unemployed; constantly seeking gainful employment -- strong hopes of landing a developer's kit from Leap Motion any day now... R&D, design engineer, project, proto, product, "soup-to-nuts", full life-cycle, 300+ PCBs generated... Robotics, Vision, innovative technology, anything I get sucked into... And here we go!

Going to have to come back and "harvest" responses later.

Thanks, GREAT stuff, Eric.

Catch y'all manana!

Oh, Ann, did I hear correctly -- "free T-shirts for 25 people (attendees) per day"?

Whoosh. You realize, I'm going to have to buy another computer -- my wife will kill me if I monopolize the "family" machine to the extent I'm about to...

Just a thought -- sounds like Eric has a script; will we be able to get a copy, since I'm hearing good stuff I can't ...quite... capture.

Thanks for tuning in today, everyone!  We'll be back at the same time tomorrow.  And, if you come up with more questions in the meantime, feel free to log in early for tomorrow's class and post your questions before the class starts.

Also, if you're able to come to Boston next week, please check out the Embedded Vision Summit, a free educational event for engineers: http://www.embedded-vision.com/embedded-vision-summit.  And if you have colleagues who may be interested, please spread the word.

Yesterday I didn't have time to ask this: could you please tell us about some embedded applications you've worked on? Thanks.

we need to think in a different way sometimes

VMware Fusion is $50.    I've used VMware Workstation (on Windows) for years.   Have considered going to VirtualBox (open-source, free) but haven't gotten around to it.   Couldn't convert existing VMs from VMware to VirtualBox.

Eric,

Okay, so that's not a freebie for the Mac version. Correct?

You mentioned testing VMware player on the Mac. I can't find VMware player for anything except Windows and Linux. Can you tell me where to find the VMware player for the Mac?

http://www.vmware.com/products/fusion/overview.html

VMware Fusion runs on Mac - I don't know if there's a free player for the Mac though.

Is it really Eclipse specific or can it work with the IDE of our choosing? I use Code::Blocks on both Win and Linux.

Nope,  you can use any IDE you choose that supports GDB.

So if I'm going to be spending a lot of time ramping up on OpenCV, does it make sense to ramp up on Eclipse as well???

If you plan on writing software for a living,  you should ramp-up on Eclipse.  It's become the dominet IDE in the industry.  Definitely worth your time.

The following link contains instructions to install OpenCV on Ubuntu 11.04, but I'm told it works on 10.04 also.

So if I'm going to be spending a lot of time ramping up on OpenCV, does it make sense to ramp up on Eclipse as well???

Ahhhh... clicking on the .vmx file did the trick.  Looks like I'm in.  Looking forward to tomorrow!

Thanks guys. Tried the demo -- will look at OpenCV libraries.

c,asm no vision apps yet

time to go. thanks Jeff, Eric and Ann. see all tomorrow.

Allergies?.

Yup,  terrible in Chicago this time of year.

When I create a new virtual machine, do I point the installer to the BDTI Dev Tool??? There is no .iso there.

You do not need to create a new virtual macing.  After downloading and uncompressing the VMware image.  Simply double click on the .vmx file.

Just a thought -- sounds like Eric has a script; will we be able to get a copy, since I'm hearing good stuff I can't ...quite... capture.

No plans to distribute a script, but I believe that the essential links are all in the slides.   If anything is missing, please send us email:  info@embedded-vision.com.

oops

Allergies?.

@drw36: Thanks, I'll try that.

ready

This is great.

Mind-reading again, with the itseez.com reference. Thanks! (BTW, hope that cough gets better soon, or people will be wearing hospital masks to your presentation next week...)

Allergies :)

@gschmick - I downgraded my flash plugin to 11.3.300.271 and audio now works fine in firefox on Win7.

Going to have to come back and "harvest" responses later.

Thanks, GREAT stuff, Eric.

Catch y'all manana!

Thank you for the presentation and good information.

can you tell from where to download open cv library for linux IDEs??

http://opencv.org/

Thanks Eric - Looking forward to tomorrow.

Thanks Eric..

@Eric   Thanks for the great info !

On slide 18 - can we use the executive demo for Friday or do we have to use the development kit?

Executive Demo

My earlier question about perhaps getting a transcript of the script Eric was using?? He touched on some valuable stuff I didn't manage to catch.

I'm going to cause some excitement when I spread the word about the pre-loaded ubuntu vmware package -- I've got a crowd of people already starting to pull their hair out trying to get a common development environment defined so they can share the development sequence (i.e. bootstrap each other past "what was THAT??" and "did your system fail when you did ...this...??, etc

Mind-reading again, with the itseez.com reference. Thanks! (BTW, hope that cough gets better soon, or people will be wearing hospital masks to your presentation next week...)

thank you Eric Sir

So is it VMWare Server that I want to download???

VMware player:  https://my.vmware.com/web/vmware/free#desktop_end_user_computing/vmware_player/5_0

Thanks dingwa.  To be more specific, I'm running Firefox 15.0.1 under XP Pro SP3.  No live audio

Is there a reference that explains all 2000 of the available [OpenCV] algorithms?

http://opencv.itseez.com/

The full suite of videos on the Embedded Vision Alliance website, including those in the Embedded Vision Academy portion of the site, plus many others, can be found here:

http://www.embedded-vision.com/industry-analysis/Video%2BInterviews%2BDemos

thanks digkey and embedded vision have not programmed yet.

Can you discuss Object Detection, and algorithms to do that. Like the photo you had that recognized mugs, Naked bottles, etc. Thanks.

Yes,  that software was developed at the Google summer of Code 2011.

http://opencv.willowgarage.com/wiki/GSOC_OpenCV2011

gschmick - I am using Firefox and the audio is working.

can you tell from where to download open cv library for linux IDEs??

Thanks for the lecture, Eric. Looking forward to the next one...

Thanks Eric, Jeff and all.

@flaredOne  - One step ahead of you there on the laptop.  I had to get an I7 laptop just for CV processing.

Adding a lab and demos we can run is a great idea for these Design News lectures!

Great lecture. Thanks Eric.

@Ann - I notice live audio still doesn't work on Firefox.  Did you think it was fixed, or did you give up on it?  ( I'm using IE8 for the live audio).  Thanks

Eric's class on Tuesday will not be recorded. The full suite of presentations Wednesday WILL be recorded, for publication within a few weeks after the event, after they're edited. For more on the Embedded Vision Summit agenda, see here:

http://www.embedded-vision.com/embedded-vision-summit

@The_John: you need the VMWare Player:

http://www.vmware.com/products/player/

Thanks Eric,very good.

The free stuff works really great!

Thanks

Thank you Ann.

Which version of Umbuntu is the Kit setup for? Can it be done native on the appropriate Umbuntu OS without the VMware player?

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS

Yes, although native has not been tested.

Is there a reference that explains all 2000 of the available algorithms?

Thanks Eric, can't wait till the next session.

I'm a software/embedded engineer interested in video applications

Languages: Assembler, C, C+ , Java

Not CV development yet

Yes, working on a current CV project using OpenCV

Thanks for the intro to OpenCV Eric.

So is it VMWare Server that I want to download???

DOWNLOADED AND CHECKED IT OUT YESTERDAY. IT IS A WOW APP.

Thank you

Labview, Vision Modules

Thanks Eric and Ann.

Thanks Eric, can't wait till the next session.

Very cool. Thanks.

Thank you Eric!

Oh, Ann, did I hear correctly -- "free T-shirts for 25 people (attendees) per day"?

can't wait till 2morrow.. to do the real stuffs

Very cool! Thanks!

Tks Eric

Thanks for the information, cant wait until tomorrow!

thanks Eric

thank you Eric,

Thanks

Thank you Eric!

Thkx Eric.

I heard yesterday that you guys are going to be taping stuff at the Conference, and posting YouTube videos -- is this class going to be something you can/will/want-to be posting??

Languages: C, Matlab

Software: license plate recognition, face detection & recognition, sediment classification

lutzcosta,

"Billions and Billions"

-Carl Sagan

;-) Over 2,000. That's what the foil says

On slide 18 - can we use the executive demo for Friday or do we have to use the development kit?

@luizcosta 2,500.

Can you discuss Object Detection, and algorithms to do that. Like the photo you had that recognized mugs, Naked bottles, etc. Thanks.

Is there a reference that explains all 2000 of the available algorithms?

200,000 or 2,000 algorithms?

(Audio - Firefox, Failed. Opera, Failed. Google Chrome - Success!)

If you haven't told us yet, please let us know

- What programming languages do you use?

- Have you developed software for video or vision applications?  If so,

what was your biggest headache?

- Do you envision developing your own vision algorithms, using free

resources, and/or licensing commercially available algorithms?

flared0one,

Sounds like rationalization to buy a new toy. I know it well ;-)

Whoosh. You realize, I'm going to have to buy another computer -- my wife will kill me if I monopolize the "family" machine to the extent I'm about to...

Which version of Umbuntu is the Kit setup for? Can it be done native on the appropriate Umbuntu OS without the VMware player?

JSP, please ask Eric post-presentation in the chat about updated-version availability. I'm thinking it might be as early as next week, but don't quote me on that

I'm a software/embedded engineer interested in video applications

I'm a software engineer (currently unemployed, and feeling rather dinosaurish); I've done embedded software, internals (mostly Windows), device drivers, and lots of Palm software.   3 years working on VoIP test/dev tools.   Some Android on my own.

I've never had audio issues before - I get the lady "... radio" - then nothing but buffering   (I'm at home; no filtering/blocking issues)

Please try refreshing your browser (F5).

I am an EE student at Union University.

Doing research for robotics vision on platforms of arduino, arm, or android architecture.

@dipert - Do you an ETA ?

h/w design engineer, worked in machine vision few years ago

good afternoon everyone

Eric, I wasn't able to install the package you sent. make failed according to my e-mail.

For those of you just joining us, please let us know your job title, the industry you're working in, and any vision applications you're working on, or thinking about working on.

Good evening everyone!

Hi, Ann, Jeff and Eric. Hello all.

So do I correctly understand that BDTi is in a position to maintain a top-down view of all these different development efforts, so that it IS possible to do a reasonably complete survey of design choices without having to search the entire internet?

If you're having audio issues, please note that some companies block live audio streams. If you don't hear any audio, try refreshing your browser. The show will be archived and available on this page.

try browser refresh for audio issues

refresh f5 for audio

no vision projects on the table for me just now.

is the audio running I just have buffering

@Eric - Are there any good books/websources you would recommend that is up-to-date for OpenCV 2.3 C+ APIs ?

hello all, a few minutes late...   (and waiting for audio - endless 'buffering'...)

not sure of question asked, but from context...

I've done lots of embedded C and assembly; no vision code yet.   No current projects right now, but soon...

FORTRAN 4, Basic, C+ .

Hello All

hello everyone

languages: current using c, asm and SX/b (basic for sx28)

no vision projects right now.

learning from the begining by using Arduino, open source libraries and simple frame grabber on breadboard.

asm & C

no vision apps yet

use Verilog, some C, some assembly
building a video link
using self-developed video processing

dingwa

@Ann - at that time did not use any open source or commercial libraries... had to do everything from scratch (it was a school project)

1. c+ /c

2. yes. robustness 

3. maybe

i use c+ but no vision app.

C, C+ , assembly

No vision so far

Just a thought -- sounds like Eric has a script; will we be able to get a copy, since I'm hearing good stuff I can't ...quite... capture.

Asm, C, C+ , Java, HTML, etc..

limited, frame grabbers mostly, no headaches

Yes

C/Java/HTML/CSS 

No Vision yet

1. C/C+ , Python, Assy, VHDL, UML

2. Nothing to report

3. Yes, all.

I use C, Python, assembly language and Objective C

No immediate vision applications but I'm going to checkout the OpenCV tools

1. C, C#

2. Yes, controlling light conditions.

3. Using free tools as most as possible, but open to license anything that would accelerate development.

@Ann - yes, did develop cv s/w quite a while ago... at that time the biggest headache was dealing with live data stream in real time

I use Pascal (Delphi), C, CPP, -- Stellaris/PC /Windows platforms.

Biggest headache is always the startup phase and the initial frustrations due to complete ignorance of a new area.

C & C#, no prior vision SW work, would prefer open source or commercial algoriths to developing our own.

C, LabVIEW, Assembler

C, C+ & C#

No vision apps

That pause in Ann's intro was scary.

re: developing a sensor system -- Hoping not to have to completely build my own -- OpenCV looks quite useful; anticipating sharing a "crowd-sourced" development environment...

No vision so far.

Languages: Assembler, C, C+ , Java

Not CV development yet

Yes, working on a current CV project using OpenCV

C/C+ /Java/C# Primarily C/Embedded C

Hello from Boston!

Never worked with vision software before

I did some work using Vision Blox some years ago.

Use Assembly and C for applicaitons.

Have not done any Vision application.

Would expect to use free software resources.

Tried downloading the BDTI OpenCV Executable Demo Package and at the end of the download, I got a message saying that the program is not commonly downloaded and could be dangerous.

Any ideas why?

Eric (today's presenter) is the person who put this download together.  I've installed it myself with no problem, as have many others.  I suspect that your security software is being overly cautious.

Mostly C language.  Looking to get into vision algorithm development.

Hello, audio is great compared to yesterday!

Thanks Dave, I'll try it

I Use C, C#, VB, Pascal and Assy

asm, C

- What programming languages do you use?

- Have you developed software for video or vision applications?  If so,

what was your biggest headache?

- Do you envision developing your own vision algorithms, using free

resources, and/or licensing commercially available algorithms?

Hello from upstate NY
