📷 Facial Recognition Attendance GUI PyQt - 1 Hour Course

Image
Okay right here right now I am going to show you how you can build your own Facial Recognition Attendance GUI using PyQt. The reason for building a GUI is obvious, if you want to roll your application, for example, it needs to be presented well and therefore you will need a user interface or UI. So this video is actually Part 2 of 2 of the facial recognition attendance project as Augmented startups have collaborated with the channel Murtaza’s Workshop. So Murtaza has part 1 which will show you how build your own facial recognition attendance system and here in part 2 right now, we are going to build on top of his foundation so that we have a user interface app that can be deployed cross platform. Also by building this app you will also learn the fundamentals of how to build your own apps using the PyQT framework.

How to Install OpenCV AI Kit on Raspberry Pi

Image
The Quick OAK on Raspberry Pi Installation Procedure Go over to https://docs.luxonis.com/api/#python_version and follow the instructions there If you run into any issues, then upgrade pip python3 -m pip install -U pip python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt 3. To install OpenCV manually follow instructions here https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=232294 or execute the following commands. sudo pip3 install opencv-python sudo apt-get install libcblas-dev sudo apt-get install libhdf5-dev sudo apt-get install libhdf5-serial-dev sudo apt-get install libatlas-base-dev sudo apt-get install libjasper-dev sudo apt-get install libqtgui4 sudo apt-get install libqt4-test 4. Connect your device and try python3 test.py If you are interested in Enrolling in my upcoming course on YOLOv4 and OAK then sign up over here when it gets released - Click Here Source : https://augmentedstartups.info/yolov4release

OpenCV AI Kit - An Introduction to OAK-1 and OAK-D

Image
Introduction Okay so I just got my OpenCV AI Kit and I am really excited to play with. But even though Iv seen a bunch of features on Kickstarter, I don’t quite understand the true capabilities of this device and why I should even care . Well in this video we going take a deep dive into this device and find out exactly what its capable off, and at the end of the video I will share my thoughts on if this device is worth all the hype as well how it matches up to the competition. What is the OpenCV AI Kit So before we get into that, lets get into the first question of What exactly is the OpenCV AI Kit or OAK. According to the creators, it is a tiny, powerful, open source Spatial AI system. So you can think of it as if an embedded 4k camera and neural compute stick had a baby, make that two babies OAK-1 and OAK-D Difference between the OAK 1 – OAK D Now What sets these two devices apart is that the OAK-1 has automatic motion-based lossless digital zooming which means that the sensor has

DeepSORT - Deep Learning applied to Object Tracking

Image
Introduction So in this article, Im going to give to you a clear and simple explanation on how Deep SORT works and why its so amazing compared to other models like Tracktor++, Track-RCNN and JDE. But to understand how DeepSORT works, we first have to go back, waaay back and understand the fundamentals of object tracking and the key innovations that had to happen along the way, for DeepSORT to emerge. Before we get started, if you are interested in developing object tracking apps, then checkout my course in the link down below, where I show you how you can fuse the popular YOLOv4 with DeepSORT for robust and real-time applications. Okay so back to Object Tracking. Now lets imagine that you that you are working for Space X, and Mr. Musk has tasked you with ensuring that on launch, the ground camera is always pointing at the Falcon 9 as it thrust into the atmosphere. As much as you are excited to be personally chosen by Elon to work on this task you ask yourself, “How will I go about th

Interview with OpenCV CEO Satya Mallick

The other day, I interviewed Luxonis CEO Brandon Gilles, in just a moment I will be interviewing the CEO of OpenCV Satya Mallick and he has some really interesting developments in OpenCV to discuss. You definitely do not want to missed this! We will be talking about : Day in the life of CEO Satya Mallick The 20th Anniversary of OpenCV Collaboration on the OpenCV AI Kits (OAK) New development s and features coming to OpenCV Click Here to watch the premiere...

Samsung’s UWB-Based Augmented Reality

Image
The new flagship Galaxy Note 20 Ultra launched by Samsung is its first handheld mobile device that uses Ultra WideBand (UWB) technology [1] . This technology was first introduced to the world by Apple with the offering being made publicly available in its iPhone 11. New Samsung Note 20 Ultra The New Tech The new technology is going to power Google’s new feature for Nearby Share, allowing for detections of the similar devices in your immediate vicinity, helping in faster sharing and better connectivity in a smaller area. Making the Augmented World Real The main focus around the technology, however, is to ultimately be able to support the Augmented Reality [2] features or even allow the mobile device to act as a digital key [3] for a connected smart house, where it will be able to sense when you are approaching the door and can just autonomously unlock the same. UWB-based AR, used to locate UWB capable devices. Major supporting factors for AR: UWB based chip gives the wireless file tra

OpenCV AI Kit - Interview with CEO Brandon Gilles

Image
Im not sure if you have heard about the OpenCV AI Kit or OAK devices that have taken Kickstarter by storm! We'll if not these kits have achieved over $700'000 on Kickstarter which is phenomenal considering their original $20'000 goal. YOLOv4 AI Course - https://augmentedstartups.info/yolov4release OpenCV AI Kits - https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/opencv/opencv-ai-kit To learn why these kits are so amazing, I got onto an interview the the CEO of Luxonis Brandon Gilles. Interview with Brandon Gilles - CEO of Luxonis and Creator of the OpenCV AI Kit Ritesh - Hi to Brandon and welcome to the Augmented Startups Virtual Studio! Brandon - My pleasure to be here. Ritesh - Q1. So Brandon, tell us a bit about yourself, what do you do? Brandon - I’m the founder and CEO of Luxonis and the Chief Architect of the OpenCV AI Kit. Ritesh - Q2. How did you get started in this space, after you’ve graduated from University, what was your journey like up until this point? Brand
