Ask HN: Computer Vision and AR project ideas
I need to choose a summer project in Computer Vision or Augmented Reality. We will be given project suggestions in the coming week, but are not limited to these.
I would like to create something packaged and fun but technically interesting (that's the dream at least) that I can show people, rather than say, coming up with a slightly improved camera stabilisation method.
Any ideas would be very much appreciated.
- Shamiq 17y agoCan you make something that looks at what someone is wearing, and then alters colors, patterns, etc? So I try on a certain shirt type, and then it'll show what I would look like with other shirts of the same cut? I would also enjoy a gesture controlled UI for a simple computer. Maybe something that can turn sign language into typed English? I've got no idea how difficult these systems would be to build -- absolutely no experience in the field.
- SandB0x 17y agoChanging shirt colours would be a fairly straightforward segmentation problem. Applying patterns accurately would require some kind of 3d reconstruction, which is obviously harder. I like the gesture controlled UI idea. Understanding sign language is probably several steps too far - I think it relies heavily on facial expressions to give the gestures context, and it almost certainly isn't a straight mapping from gestures to words.. Will hunt around for literature though, as even understanding a small subset would be fascinating and I'd love to learn to sign.
