SCAMP3 – Low Power Bug Counting (Object Tracking)

Posted on August 17, 2011 by david

This video shows the low power SCAMP3 vision chip system tracking and counting multiple objects at low power. The APRON environment was used to develop the tracking algorithm, and simulate it running on the device.

APRON Real-Time – SCAMP3 – Bug Counting

Posted on July 21, 2011 by david

Apologies for the boring bits in this video, the bugs just won’t do what I tell them to. Anyway, the task was to use a SCAMP3 device to count bugs entering the field of the camera. I only own one … Continue reading →

APRON using Playstation Eye Camera

Posted on June 20, 2011 by david

A quick video showing some of the Playstation Eye capabilities being used in APRON. The screen capture software is a little slow (and consumes a great deal of CPU), but frame rates at QVGA can easily reach 180 FPS, even … Continue reading →

APRON Spiking Neurons

Posted on June 9, 2011 by david

APRON is capable of performing spiking neural network simulations. Here we see 6 interconnected layers of Izhikevich neurons, with various projections between the layers. The input stimulus is from a webcam. Although I’ve no idea what the model is actually … Continue reading →

APRON Colour Images

Posted on June 1, 2011 by david

APRON can also handle colour images. Those extra two dimensions of data can be really handy for visualisation and segmentation. Check out the video below. Also shown are some more features of the APRON environment.

APRON Self-Organising Map (SOM)

Posted on June 1, 2011 by david

Here is a video of APRON executing a self organising map. It’s trivialised to highlight certain features of the APRON simulation environment. The main feature here, is that APRON can explode developing receptive fields implemented with LinkMaps, so you can … Continue reading →

APRON Mandelbrot Fractal

Posted on June 1, 2011 by david

APRON is really good at array processing, and sometimes it can be used for applications other than image processing. Check out the video below, showing the iterative calculation of a Mandelbrot set.

APRON Real-Time Optic Flow

Posted on June 1, 2011 by david

Check out this video of real-time optic flow being calculated in the APRON environment. The approach is a basic block-matching algorithm, but the APRON environment allows you to interactively analyse and debug the running algorithm.

Demo: Object Tracking

Posted on April 18, 2011 by admin

The following demo video shows APRON (with the aid of a CUDA plug-in) learning and tracking an object selected by the user. The algorithm behind this is quite naive, but shows surprising robustness to rotation.
