Join us this week for a presentation titled “Building the Next Generation of Synthetic Media,” where CraftStory’s Victor Erukhimov shows us how generative AI is reshaping the way digital humans and video content are created. The talk covers two products built by the team: Avatar SDK, a toolkit for generating photorealistic 3D avatars, and CraftStory, […] The post Building the Next Generation of S…

Autonomous drones only fly as well as they can figure out where they are. Drop one into a forest, a dense city, or a disaster zone, and that gets a lot harder — the signals they normally lean on just aren’t there. This week we get into HUNT, a navigation approach built for exactly the […] The post Rethinking Drone Autonomy in GPS-Denied Environments – OpenCV Live Ep. 217 appeared first on OpenCV .

Our guest this week is Alireza Taheritajar, a Ph.D. Student an Augusta University focusing on In-Situ Intelligent Mixed Reality Assistants for Adaptive Human-AI Collaboration.

Computer vision isn’t just for self-driving cars and robots. At Procter & Gamble, it’s helping researchers understand human behavior, generate synthetic data, and build 3D models of people, at a scale most labs can only dream of. We’re excited to announce that Oya Aran, Director of R&D Data Science and AI at P&G, will be […] The post How P&G Uses AI to Understand Human Behavior appeared first on …

For decades, the hologram was a promise. A thing of science fiction. Something always just around the corner. Shawn Frayne decided to stop waiting. As co-founder and CEO of Looking Glass Factory, Shawn has spent over 20 years building toward a holographic future that doesn’t require a headset, a darkened room, or a suspension of […] The post The Holographic Future Is Here. See It at OSCCA. appear…

Calibration is one of those problems every computer vision practitioner knows and knows well. Getting multi-sensor, multi-modal systems to agree on a shared view of the world is hard work, and doing it reliably at production scale has historically meant stitching together brittle pipelines, fighting edge cases, and hoping nothing drifts the next time you […] The post Tangram Vision and OpenCV Are…

2.5 billion model inferences every day across robotics, healthcare, manufacturing, and beyond. That’s the scale at which Ultralytics YOLO operates, and at ​OSCCA on May 4th in Los Angeles​, you’ll hear directly from the person who built it. We’re excited to announce that Glenn Jocher, Founder and CEO of Ultralytics, will be delivering an pre-recorded […] The post Glenn Jocher of Ultralytics (YOLO…

Over 1.5 billion downloads. Used in everything from self-driving cars to medical imaging to robotics. OpenCV has become the backbone of modern computer vision — and it all started with one person. Gary Bradski, the founder of OpenCV, is coming to OSCCA, the OpenCV-SID Conference on Computer Vision & AI, on May 4th in Los […] The post The Founder of OpenCV Is Speaking at OSCCA, Don’t Miss It! appe…

What does it look like when computer vision and AI power experiences for millions of guests at Disney scale, from AI-driven robotic characters to conversational droids in a galaxy far, far away?

A real-world robotics challenge with a $180K prize pool, where innovation and industry impact collide. We’re standing at an inflection point in robotics: electronics assembly, especially dexterous manipulation remains one of the biggest open problems in industry today. Tasks like handling flexible cables or inserting connectors during electronics assembly, are still exceedingly hard for robots [……

This project controls a Universal Robots UR5 using real-time face tracking built with OpenCV. A standard webcam provides a live video stream that detects a human face, computes its position relative to the image center, and maps this offset into the robot’s Cartesian workspace. The robot’s tool center point (TCP) is then updated continuously, resulting in smooth, responsive motion that follows th…

Note: This event has been rescheduled but the links still work. Simultaneous Localization & Mapping (SLAM) is one of the most active and contentious areas of CV & robotics. Should you use purely visual SLAM? Do you need LiDAR? What about indoor .vs. outdoor use cases? We’ll cover all these and more with OpenCV community […] The post Part 3: Simultaneous Localization & Mapping: Which SLAM Is For Y…
