This is particularly interesting since Gary Bradski is also a Co-Founder of Industrial Perception Inc., a robotics company that Google acquired in 2013.
Reportedly Bradski walked away from Google right after the deal to join early Magic Leap, leaving lots of cash on the table and Google stock unvested.
- bgalbraith 10y agoBradski is also the creator of OpenCV, an industry standard computer vision library.
- Q6T46nT668w6i3m 10y agoAdrian Kaehler is also a major contributor to OpenCV.
- dj_doh 10y agoThat's enough for me to side with these two guys. I think Magic Leap is not that magical after all.
- thesystemis 10y agoHe wrote the Learning OpenCV book but I'm not sure it's accurate to say he created openCV... It was created by intel internally (by a ton of folks like Vadim Pisarevsky) and later open sourced. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenCV https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenCV
- starb 10y agoNo, it is accurate. He was at Intel when it was created, and meeting notes suggest that he had been leading the project. https://github.com/Itseez/opencv/wiki/Meeting_notes https://github.com/Itseez/opencv/wiki/Meeting_notes
- Retric 10y agoLeading a project inside a company != creating the thing.
- TotallyHuman 10y agoSure it is! What else would it be? It was conceived by immaculate conception?
- thesystemis 10y agothanks! -- I didn't know the history. these notes are from 2008 (long after opencv was open sourced) but it's clear from his linkedin page that he was a part of the founding team at intel.
