Tag: Computer Vision

Throughout the past semester, as part of my computer vision course, I had to implement several image processing and computer vision techniques and algorithms to operate on grayscale images. There were three programming tasks in total. The first was to count the number of objects in a particular image, which required several simple steps. The second was to implement an edge detection algorithm, specifically Canny edge detector. The last programming assignment was to implement photometric stereo. This post will contain three (mostly) independent sections describing each of the assignments.

With recent advances in technology, new methods of computer interaction are becoming available. In this blog post I will briefly describe my investigation of gesture recognition using the Microsoft Kinect for Windows as a means of controlling software. For a much more detailed description of the methods and results of this project, you can read the paper.
