This is the power of YOLO, trained on a laptop for ~1 hour, with a Kaggle dataset. Oh, and just ~100 lines of Python. I can make a startup on this and it took me literally a couple of hours.

I received a message in my direct messages asking how difficult it would be to use computer vision to track cell movement. > SAM zero shot for the immune cell > YOLO finetuned on a small dataset for bacteria Realization time: ~2 hours

Now you can make the so famous "pothole detector" using Ultralytics Platform as backend. All the compute is offloaded, you have just to make a cool UI to have your detector.

The future of agriculture lies in optimization. A system like this costs very little: a drone with a camera and a computer vision system accurate enough to count and identify plants or diseases. It's so easy that anyone can make it at home for their own crops.

I can't stop playing with Rapid Roboflow. The process is so smooth that you can just: - Go to the rapid roboflow platform - Drop a few images or a short video - Type a prompt like “yellow cap” or “person wearing red hat” - Instantly get a working detection model No training, no GPUs, no cloud setup. Plug it straight into your app. It’s also baked into Roboflow Workflows, so you can instantly build automations like “count vials crossing this line” in minutes. Computer vision just went from weeks in seconds.

Added an obstacle in the room and simulated three different scenarios. This makes any kind of airflow simulation inside a room much more accessible. You can optimize the ventilation of your living room with just 10 lines of Python.

Honestly the best case you can have for your DGX. - two exhaust fans underneath - tilted 30 degrees to improve ventilation - two side slides to keep it in place

The "hello world" was achieved. Soon everyone can build cool ESP32 projects starting from a prompt. And look the beautiful simulation.

Calculating pothole volume from a 2D image is challenging but possible: > Assign each pothole an ID to avoid duplication. > Use basic trigonometry to convert pixels to real-world meters. > Apply a novel algorithm to estimate depth using road engineering data.

This should be the airflow into a DGX Spark. That's why my cases are so good for it, because I study in detail their airflow.

Imagine choose a seat on the airplane after seeing this 3D simulation instead of that boring 2D free/occupied view. You can just make a startup using threejs and a good idea nowadays.

Curling stone tracking v1 Olympic Games edition. How I made this first version: - YOLO for real-time stone detection - ByteTrack (Supervision) for consistent object tracking - SciPy for trajectory smoothing - OpenCV + NumPy for annotation, velocity, direction and acceleration visualization The colors indicate whether the stone is : accelerating → green stable → orange decelerating → red

I created a web app for teaching computer vision basics, allowing users to upload an image or video stream and instantly view it as a numerical pixel matrix, with options to display values in RGB, Hex, or Grayscale formats. It features predefined convolution kernels applied in real-time: - Sobel operator for edge detection (computes gradients to highlight boundaries) - Gaussian Blur: averages neighboring pixels with weights to reduce noise - Sharpen: boosts local contrast to enhance details This setup clearly visualizes how images are represented as matrices or tensors, how convolution slides kernels across pixels, and how operations like gradient computation, blurring, or sharpening modify the data step-by-step. I plan to use demos like this in my upcoming computer vision course to build intuition for fundamental image processing concepts, OpenCV filters, and CNN building blocks (e.g., why kernels extract features).

Camouflage no longer works with YOLO. The detection of the hays here is impressive. YOLO can identify an hay which has mostly the same color of the background.

I think I have made the coolest rig for an home AI setup. - 4× DGX Spark + OEM PSUs - 1× 8-port multi-gig switch - 8× short Cat6 - 1× vertical PDU / quality power strip - 3D printed chassis (and other small components + accessories) At the moment it is just a virtual replica. But if NVIDIA AI Developer wants to sponsor me with a real DGX Spark I am open to discuss

Roboflow Rapid has revolutionized computer vision. You can train, deploy, and use a custom model with just one prompt and a video. I replicated my pothole detector in one minute on their platform by uploading an unlabeled video and writing "potholes".

I am not joking. This is a Navier-Stocks simulation with a DGX simplified geometry. What this solution means and how it is achieved? (the following part is for CFD lovers) D3Q19 lattice-Boltzmann, incompressible Navier-Stokes in the low-Mach limit, BGK collision with a Smagorinsky subgrid closure, full-way bounce-back on the voxelised chassis, plus a passive thermal scalar. 94×140×55 at 3 mm, 12000 steps, converged to residual 0.0013.

I need to annotate some images for training a computer vision model. There are many powerful annotation platforms available, but I want to keep my images local. I added a new section to my CV Streamlit app to quickly annotate images and train a YOLO model in a few clicks.

You can build your 3D models directly from a prompt into Claude code. All thanks to this beautiful python project, build123 a parametric modeling framework for 2D and 3D CAD. It is built on the Open Cascade geometric kernel and it is suitable for 3D printing.

I started to get passionate about the drones about 10 years ago: building, repairing (mostly), firmware tuning and so on. But now I am asking what if I had this app 10 years ago. This AI support for building from scratch a drone. >No days in modeling the frame on blender >No days in flashing bad firmware >No weeks for receiving the components, but 3D print them >No wrong components purchased A simple chat with the blender mcp for designing the drone and betaflight for test and simulate the firmware. I understand all of you who are building day and night, doing these things is too much fun.

I want to detect the gates to check how many were missed. But it is pretty complex: - Gates change size dramatically based on distance - No unique features: very generic shape, no distinctive texture or pattern - Model becomes biased toward detecting "gate-like" things
