The Choices I have experimented with OpenCV and Dlib face detection in my computer vision pipeline. Both work well, but the Dlib one worked better: it is more sensitive with (in my case) almost no false positives right out of the box! Dlib uses several HOG filters that account for profile as well as frontal … Continue reading Detecting Faces with Dlib from F#. IFSharp Notebook

HashSet, Graph, Cognac
The post on applying GPU to finding Eulerian path mentioned a stumbling block: partitioning a very specific kind of graph. In general, partitioning is a hard problem, NP-hard actually. The graphs we are dealing with are very specific, though, and may be partitioned in $latex O(|E|)$ time (E - the set of graph edges). Our … Continue reading HashSet, Graph, Cognac
Getting Emotional with Affectiva, F#, and Emgu
I've been playing with Affectiva emotion, demographics, and face detection SDK, found it excellent, however, their sample gallery lacks a sample in F#! So here we are to correct that. I just wanted a simple F# script that would let me take all kinds of the SDK options for a ride. The script itself is … Continue reading Getting Emotional with Affectiva, F#, and Emgu
Walking the Euler Path: PIN Cracking and DNA Sequencing
Continuing on to some cool applications of Eulerian paths. Intro Visualization GPU/CUDA Injection The goal of this little graph experiment remains exploration of accelerating Eulerian path finding on the GPU. This is the final introductory post. Eulerian Path Hierholzer algorithm works great. It's linear in the number of edges, so as fast as we can … Continue reading Walking the Euler Path: PIN Cracking and DNA Sequencing
Walking the Euler Path: GPU for the Road
Continuation of the previous posts: Intro Visualization GPU Digression I was going to talk about something else this week but figured I'd take advantage of the free-hand format and digress a bit. Continuing the travel metaphor and remembering Julius Cesar's "alea iacta", we'll talk about GPU algorithms, for which I invariably use my favorite Aela.CUDA … Continue reading Walking the Euler Path: GPU for the Road
Visualizing Graphs
Previously Walking the Eule Path: Intro Generating and Visualizing Graphs I can hardly overemphasize the importance of visusalizations. Many a bug had been immediately spotted just by looking at a visual of a complex data structure. I therefore decided to add visuals to the project as soon as the DirectedGraph class was born. Code & … Continue reading Visualizing Graphs
Walking the Euler Path: Intro
Source Code I'm thinking about a few posts in these series going very fast through the project. The source is on my GitHub, check out the tags since the master branch is still work in progress. Experimenting with Graph Algorithms with F# and GPU Graphs play their role in bioinformatics which is my favorite area … Continue reading Walking the Euler Path: Intro
Capture Video in 2 Lines of Code
Literally. Well almost. 2 meaningful lines + some boilerplate. This has got to be easier than even Python! Using EmguCV, a wrapper around OpenCV and F# Interactive:
Look-and-say: F#
This holiday season my brief indulgence was solving the Advent of Code puzzles. One was about the look-and-say sequence. It starts with "1" and grows as follows: 1 is read off as "one 1" or 11. 11 is read off as "two 1s" or 21. 21 is read off as "one 2, then one 1" … Continue reading Look-and-say: F#
Decomposition Problem with F#, Dynamic Programming
As my former boss and mentor used to say, in order to understand recursion one must first understand recursion. This is funny, ha-ha, but if we tweak it slightly we get a really useful statement: in order to understand dynamic programming, one must first understand recursion. Here is an example.
