Today I came across a nice project: Sixth Sense, by MIT Media Lab. More than anything I would love to buy that tiny projector!!!! Wonder how much it cost. The project web site[1] says,
‘SixthSense’ is a wearable gestural interface that augments the physical world around us with digital information and lets us use natural hand [...]

The newest computer vision technology can’t literally see through your sweater and slacks, but it can determine the shape of your unclad body.
Brown University computer scientists have developed software that takes ordinary images of people dressed in street clothes and digitally peels away the layers to determine their 3-D body shape.
In a partnership [...]

robotics.youngster.com has compiled a nice list of Robotics related software. Have a look at here

University of California, San Diego computer scientists have built a software program that can perform key duplication without having the key. Instead, the computer scientists only need a photograph of the key.

In this “Sneakey” Computer Vision project, features of the key is extracted from the photograph and accordingly a duplicate of the key is [...]

If you are new to OpenCV or If you want to expand your knowledge in OpenCV you would find following book is useful. I’ve been using OpenCV for almost 6 years up to now. It is “the” Open Source Computer Vision Library out there.

The book includes:

A thorough introduction to OpenCV
Getting input from cameras
Transforming images
Shape matching
Pattern [...]

I found this interesting article [1] at NewScientistTech written by Kurt Kleiner. They have a nice approach to create a curved digital sensor (spherical) mostly using conventional photolithography. There can be endless applications since this will help to get wide-angle but less distorted images from a small camera. Also the author suggests, these can be [...]

It didn’t take too long for me to get rid of the previous “black” Wordpress theme I’ve been using. But the most immediate reason was some encouragements given by few friends.
Okay, that is how the fun began! .
First, I wanted to use the layout I used back in 2004. Second, I wanted [...]

One of my favorite areas of research is Robotics. Today I came across the following, which made a lot of sense since I am into SOA too.
http://www.adarobotics.com/main/technology/soa-robotics.html
adarobotics discusses about the SOA nature of its robotics implementation.
It seems the following is the result of their implementation.

I am into SOA Governance these days. Part of my job includes writing Articles.  So came the interest of having the $subject. After browsing I saw the following text segment about English language, and sadly the author is unknown. Boy!, Natural Language Processing is challenging!!!
