At ETH we worked on an analog pressure gauge reading project. In the larger project, we wanted to read analog pressure gauges in oil refineries. https://github.com/ethz-asl/analog_gauge_reader

Aktiia has a product on the market which supposedly already does this https://aktiia.com/uk/ . It is based on an optical method though.

The one thing that is painfully obvious to anyone who has rented an electric vehicle in a foreign country, is that charging those things is close to impossible. Most charging networks require a specific app, that often can only be downloade

These methods learn directly the radiance, in a way which is not lighting dependent. Therefore they would render the same and shadows are not taken into account. Current methods aren’t able to do this, but maybe some day we might discover m

In terms of advice, I would for sure start by adding GPS logging into the app. The app logs the ARKit odometry information, which could be a good starting point, but don't know how well that would perform with all that vibration. It wo

That sounds awesome. I do some mountain biking myself and have sometimes thought that it would be cool if you could replay your rides in 3D through a sparse SLAM point cloud. Of course it would very hard to run SLAM onboard an MTB as there

Hey everyone! Here is an app I've been working on over the past couple years for my own purposes. The original idea came from me wanting to collect RGB-D scans for research and development purposes. One option being to buy a depth came

Even if it was possible from a legislative perspective, European cities are also considerably harder to drive in than American cities that are cars first with wider lanes and clear grid layouts. Most parts of Europe also have more variable

I’ve not tried it, but you might want to look into https://www.stack-ai.com/ .

I would add that the probability of a task getting done, is inversely proportional to the distance between the people deciding about the task and the people who will actually do it. Since the board members are almost never the people implem

The Financial Times comment section is surprisingly civil and useful despite it’s size. Not sure if that is the kind of community you had in mind.

In case someone is interested in recording RGB-D videos for offline processing, I wrote an app for this https://apps.apple.com/us/app/stray-scanner/id1557051662 . It simply writes the raw data files to disk, w

Working on making computer vision for robotics easier. I feel like the real reason we don't have robots doing all of our physical grunt work, is that it is just way too expensive to develop robots that do advanced and custom things. Cu

One thing that could help, but obviously would not completely solve everything is some sort of "organic" label/certification for software. Basically have someone audit the software and check that it doesn't screw the use

Yes if you only care about 2d bbox detection, a smart bounding box annotation tool has some advantages. If you need to solve 3D vision tasks, as is the case in 3D bbox detection, 3D keypoint detection, 6D pose estimation, then you need a to

Yes it relies on the target being static when capturing the training data, but it’s ok for the background to move. We were actually surprised by how well it works on moving objects without being trained on them. In the post you can see Juli

We plan to charge for some of the algorithms. Also, eventually some parts will run in our cloud and we could charge for compute credits.

Pretty much yeah. Just to be clear, we only use the color and depth images from the camera. There is actually an offline calibration step to obtain camera intrinsic parameters, which are copied into each scene. The integrate step runs a SLA

Ah yeah. The app store doesn’t seem to have a way to restrict downloads to only lidar devices. The description does mention the limitation, but there doesn’t seem to be a way to set a hard constraint. So sorry about this! Wonder if there is
