TESTIMONIALS FROM PREVIOUS WORKSHOP


FAQ

  • What Will be The Outcome?
1. Using image transformation to restore a skewed map 
2. Build an object counter (count number of penguins in a picture, count number of LEGO bricks in a picture) by applying edge detection principles

  • How the learnings will be able to be implemented in real life business cases?

A couple of examples in each industry :

  1.     Agricultural : Count the number of crops 
  2.     Warehousing : Count very quickly the number of carton boxes, packages in each area of warehouse, Identify odd shapes, Identify outliers
  3.     Logistics : Quickly scanning the number of vessels / ships etc for defense / border control
  4.     Medical : X-ray imagery
  5.     Surveillance : Count number of people walking into the store, Attendance system
And many other industries and application.
