For anyone doing GLSL work, here's a shader debugger that is quite useful: http://www.vis.uni-stuttgart.de/glsldevil/ Would love to see someone with resources (i.e. Valve) somehow maintain it (or do something simi

Yes, absolutely, which (I'm assuming) is why CIE2K difference is not-quite-euclidean. My opinion is the we still need to find a better difference metric, rather than improving the color space. On that front, it's amazing to see h

Color is actually much more difficult than most people realize! Even CIE2000 color distance still has fundamental "perceptual distance" problems, especially comparing non-saturated with saturated colors (although that's a bl

I've got a thinkpad w530 too. It's a beast, definitely outperforms my Macbook pro. Not really a fair comparison though, totally different weight class :)

I know a number of aerial photo companies who have done this type of work for decades - what's new here? My knowledge from local farmers is that they already pay for experts who amalgamate a variety of data sources (soil testing, aeria

I'm really interested in that question too, did anyone buy TinEye's color search service? I hope so. Personally, I think the TinEye color results are better than Shutterstock's approach....although having meta-data alongside

That's too bad, I guess the simple things don't always work (especially with autoimmune problems). I hope your wife can find something that works!

Clearly? Identical twins do not have the same likeliness of developing T1DM. Genetics do not explain why we have had a significant global growth (~3% per year) in the number of cases of Type 1 Diabetes Melanoma (T1DM) in recent decades.

You're right, it's ok for a project. I guess what I meant was it's quite easy compared to the problems my company deals with every day. 30 images in 24 hours (I think it said) is kind of a problem. Given the constraints of the asker (all

Well we do use both (and various others), but really what languages someone knows isn't such a big factor.

The original post really highlights the "problem with computer vision" - finding the coke can is fairly easy (SIFT), although the author goes off on some other random approach that I doubt would work very well. The field certainly has its

It depends on your market. In China, IE6 is still at 20-25% and it's even more if you count all of the smaller browsers that simply wrapped IE6 Trident into their own browser interface.

Wow, perfect timing, I am just writing a contract proposal this weekend! This (novella-sized) article definitely resonated with me, will try applying some of their advice soon...

The situation is unfortunate, but basically inevitable at this stage in China's development. Take a look at the Chinese book publishing industry and you'll see a glimpse of the Chinese way - most books are put online for free by the author

This is definitely one of the better (and more accurate) articles on the subject. I have been doing business in China and definitely see his view - it's easy to see why most of China's elite send their children abroad. I wouldn't live the

Me too! Why did I even click the link? I just assume the rest of the article went something along the lines of: "Also, Newton was a moron. Gravity would have been apparent to me without the apple.", etc, etc.

It's unlikely, as mortgages (and debt in general) are very unpopular in China. It's currently not possible to even get a mortgage. Chinese ghost towns are, for the vast majority, bought and paid for by rich speculators in cash. Not to say

It's definitely an interesting topic and a nice high level overview of the problems of colour and colour spaces. I like the 4 point colour wheel in some way, but I don't entirely see the benefits. From a computer vision perspective, this r

I was reading that article thinking "I remember all of those features (and more) being in Sub7 about 12-13 years ago". Not so advanced, really.

What exactly is the operation being done in the video? My best guess is a noisy set of GPS coordinates / panoramas being repositioned via bundle adjustment on the street view panoramic captures. Or something.

Funny, I (very grudgingly) scrapped our (upcoming) Cassandra deployment last week. It's a nice project, but there were too many bugs and glitches for our production requirements. HBase is an interesting choice, although I'd need to see str

It depends on what you want to want to do - this library has a wider scope than others I've seen. The closest I know would be Raphael, which is nice in that it also supports IE (Canvas): http://raphaeljs.com/ If you just want Graphs/Char
