Why is Explaining Machine Learning Models Important?
This blog post was originally published at Digica’s website. It is reprinted here with the permission of Digica. Why is explaining machine learning models important? The main focus in machine learning projects is to optimize metrics like accuracy, precision, recall, etc. We put effort into hyper-parameter tuning or designing good data pre-processing. What if these

The Role of the Inertial Measurement Unit in 3D Time-of-flight Cameras
This blog post was originally published at e-con Systems’ website. It is reprinted here with the permission of e-con Systems. An Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) detects movements and rotations across six degrees of freedom, representing the types of motion a system can experience. When paired with Time-of-flight (ToF) cameras, it ensures accurate spatial understanding and

Heart rate detection with Open CV It’s probably no surprise to you that heart rate can be measured using different gadgets like smartphones or smartwatches. But did you know you can measure it using just the camera

“Understanding, Selecting and Optimizing Object Detectors for Edge Applications,” a Presentation from Walmart Global Tech
Md Nasir Uddin Laskar, Staff Machine Learning Engineer at Walmart Global Tech, presents the “Understanding, Selecting and Optimizing Object Detectors for Edge Applications” tutorial at the May 2023 Embedded Vision Summit. Object detectors count objects in a scene and determine their precise locations, while also labeling them. Object detection plays… “Understanding, Selecting and Optimizing Object

Why is Air Quality Monitoring Going Mobile?
In recent years, there has been significant interest in the use of low-cost gas sensors affixed to lampposts, trees, and traffic lights within smart cities to monitor outdoor air quality. Yet before this industry has really taken off, there are already signs of a trend away from the adoption of expansive sensor networks towards mobile

“Vision-language Representations for Robotics,” a Presentation from the University of Pennsylvania
Dinesh Jayaraman, Assistant Professor at the University of Pennsylvania, presents the “Vision-language Representations for Robotics” tutorial at the May 2023 Embedded Vision Summit. In what format can an AI system best present what it “sees” in a visual scene to help robots accomplish tasks? This question has been a long-standing… “Vision-language Representations for Robotics,” a

Dragonfly Base: Enhancing Indoor Localization in Challenging Environments with Visual Markers
