Visited computer vision meetup organized by Sergii Kharagorgiiev.
Some lightning talks were definitely beyond my understanding 🫣

  • Alireza Akhavi Zadegan talked about cool new device he is developing for robots - a Unified Multimodal Perception Module. Check out:

  • Andrii Zymohliad talked about universal encoding format of point of cloud data in their depth camera device

  • Mikhail Iljin gave an overview of GScan, how cosmic rays (muons) are used to scan bridges for degradation, how those rays come from different directions and scatter also in different directions, so you need to capture lots of rays over long period of time to then compute probabilistic "shadows" of internal structure.

  • Oleksii Udod talked about nuances of using "camera" in practice. How incorporating it in real product is faced with human opposition, placement, models, occlusions, gathering of data for retraining, privacy. How thermal cameras may be useful but not so precise

  • Margus Reintam was looking for interested people to participate in pet project to have a wearable camera device to help out people with bad memory, OCD to for example find keys or organize their life

Asked some questions, but was a bit scared to talk about Gratheon beehive entrance observer even though I do have bee monitoring working, but I'm still in that "need one more feature to get in right" state of mentality 🫠
