[Numpy-discussion] FaceL - Facile Face Labeling

2009-05-04 Thread David Bolme
I have been working on a open source face recognition demo tool called FaceL for the past few months. FaceL is a simple and fun face processing and labeling tool that labels faces in a live video from an iSight camera or webcam. It uses OpenCV for face detection, ASEF correlation

2009-01-18 Thread David Bolme
I have implemented an iterative gaussian smoothing approach that is working well for my purposes. My approach uses a median filter to populate the initial values and then runs a few passes with gaussian smoothing. This works very well for the missing values that I care about within the

Thanks for all the ideas. I think I will look into the scikits.delaunay, Rbf, or gaussian smoothing approach. My best idea is similar to the Gaussian smoothing. Anyway, all of the missing data gaps seem to be small enough that I expect any of these methods to accomplish my purpose.

2009-01-15 Thread David Bolme
I am working on a face recognition using 3D data from a special 3D imaging system. For those interested the data comes from the FRGC 2004 dataset. The problem I am having is that for some pixels the scanner fails to capture depth information. The result is that the image has missing

I have written up basic nearest neighbor algorithm. It does a brute force search so it will be slower than kdtrees as the number of points gets large. It should however work well for high dimensional data. I have also added the option for user defined distance measures. The user can

I remember reading a paper or book that stated that for data that has been normalized correlation and Euclidean are equivalent and will produce the same knn results. To this end I spent a couple hours this afternoon doing the math. This document is the result.

I also like the idea of a scipy.spatial library. For the research I do in machine learning and computer vision we are often interested in specifying different distance measures. It would be nice to have a way to specify the distance measure. I would like to see a standard set included:

I am building up a python Computer Vision / Image Processing library built on PIL/Scipy. If you cannot find a home for this code in scipy I think it would be a good fit for this library. http://pyvision.sourceforge.net Dave On Aug 3, 2008, at 3:26 AM, Nadav Horesh wrote: My main

#551: numpy.ndarray messed up after unpickling I have added a comment to this one. I don't think it should be closed. I think there is a problem with initialization of the ndarray. The normal constructor works fine, loading from pickle does not.

A am having some trouble when pickling numpy arrays. Basically I use one python script to create the array and then pickle it. When I load the pickled array using a different python script it appears to load fine. When I try to perform a matrix multiply on the array with a vector (using
