What Hacker News says?

  1. Our Raspberry Pi 3 B is the core processing unit for our humanoid robotics platform [1]. This is in the context of the RoboCup competition [2]. With it we run: * Vision - A custom CNN using YOLO [3], where we are able to process a 256x256 (input is scaled) at 10fps to detect bounding boxes for balls and goal posts * Localization - Kalman filter (mainly currently used for tracking rotation) * Networking - Game contro…

  5. Maybe https://pjreddie.com/darknet/install or one of the various forks. YOLO is supposed to be one of the best object detection systems as far as accuracy/speed is concerned.

  9. > Far too few people in CS care about the ethics side as well. Unrelated to this story, but on the topic of ethics in CS: I found the decision of Joe Redmon [1] extremely brave. (If you don't know who he is, he's the principle original author of YOLO, and could easily have had a stellar CV career. Also, his papers are just amazing reads with tons of humor.)

  13. Well, maybe I got the wrong impression but after reading the (very accessible) Yolo V3 paper [1], it seems to me that even the experts do little real math and lots of guesswork, kicking a model until it starts giving results. [1] https://pjreddie.com/media/files/papers/YOLOv3.pdf

  15. Thanks! We used the water tank as the first end-to-end test using the product, and made a website that calls the API every minute to monitor the water level in a dashboard. The architecture implemented using Lobes for object detection is called Yolo v2 ( https://pjreddie.com/darknet/yolo/ ). It is fairly state-of-the-art for that type of problem and has ~70 million parameters that are being learned (matrices that ge…

  19. Yes in technical sense that only wrong countries try to control wrongthink, and no in the sense that if there are chances such opinions prevail. It'll be like insisting YOLO[1] renamed and presentation video changed up. We all kind of deserve a right to say so, and insisting anime is unprofessional and must be removed don't look that way yet, but IMO it very well could be considered insane talks in 5-10 years. 1: ht…
