FYI, front camera in X uses structural light, while Kinect 2 uses a more modern time-of-flight (ToF) technology, which delivers better depth resolution. From https://www.apple.com/iphone-x/ : "Face ID is enabled by

Thanks, this is somewhat orthogonal to purely UI concerns, but it's very useful to know it exists! BTW, is it really possible for third-party players to access music from Apple Music?

Maybe a wrong place to ask, but can somebody recommend an opposite of this? I don't care for album covers (at least while listening) and prefer alphabetized lists and a text-only playlist for a main view. With good queue management (

Russia has the same system, and at least 10 years ago it still wasn't unisex. Boys' crafts included woodworks and metalworks, while girls learned cooking and sewing.

Great analogy, and as with all VMs, you have a fundamental performance penalty for not doing it natively. Although you do get the flexibility of pausing / debugging / isolating the VM.

It's actually perspective transform invariant, which is a more general class. The name is misleading. SIFT and its multiple descendants, yes, and also things like Random Ferns, google "Boosted Random Ferns for Object Detection&quo

These invariants are standard practice in computer vision. In fact, you won't go anywhere without translation and brightness invariance, more often you need also scale (uniform) and rotation invariance, and limited projective transform

Good in its simplicity. Basically, they construct not-quite-but-local hyperfeatures using edge triangles and then compute a descriptor (perceptual hash) for all these hyperfeatures. In this way, you get many features on different scales all

Your workplace should be a refuge, where you charge your batteries and build sanity. That's a refreshing perspective, I haven't thought about it like this. Indeed, when you're solving tough problems, you'd better conce

Heh, an analogous file in my colleagues' project is 250 non-emply LOC. It seems to list every warning for GCC from 4.8 to 6.X. Sorry, not open source (yet?).

Thanks, this looks like a better solution!

How do you deal with thirdparty includes, particularly with big header-only libraries? You basically have to change compiler flags on the fly, and AFAIK it isn't well supported. My colleagues have dealt with this by defining some ugly

As it seems, there are only two good options if you need a decent cross-platform desktop GUI without having the means to go full-custom for each platform. These are Java and Qt. I'm heavily biased towards Qt since all serious image pro

The first time I've received a robocall here in Russia I was really amazed at the impudence: it's bad enough when a live person calls you, but when you get a robocall? Immediate blacklisting of the number and the brand. And when I

As a counterexample, there's ROS (Robot Operating System, which is not an OS actually but a middleware plus a lot of libraries), and it still doesn't support Py3 officially. There is some support in fact, but you probably don&#x

A bit of a nitpick, but ROS is not an OS, it is a middleware. Who knows, maybe somebody makes a ROS adaptation for a hard-realtime POSIX OS, would be totally possible. Though I agree, ROS is nowhere near the stability level needed by indust

Well, I'm talking only about additional hardware cost per car. To work in this space you primarily need a partner from auto industry, and that partner may be interested in automated driving only if the additional hardware cost is minim

The alternative is to be a problem solver. There are many cases where there's a real need to create a solution either without any established framework or where previous attempts have failed. That means you're either a founding en
