Base64 Encode/Decode Tool
Use this free online tool to Base64 encode or decode any text. You can also Base64 encode or decode a file.
Mixing Assembly language with Visual Basic
This tutorial will help explain the basics & also the details needed if you want to mix assembly code with Visual Basic. This tutorial will not explain how to use assembly language. If you need to learn that, then you can find many tutorials and
Hardware Platforms for Embedded Computer Vision, Image Processing and Deep Learning
When developing computer vision or image processing applications for a desktop computer, the choices in hardware platforms are very simple: if you don’t need much processing then you use a cheap laptop or PC with integrated GPU, or if you need lots of processing power
Introduction to OpenCV
The easiest way to learn OpenCV is to buy & read the book “Learning OpenCV” from O’Reilly. Otherwise you can follow these instructions depending on your C/C++ compiler. This webpage explains how to setup OpenCV v2.1.0. There is a newer version of OpenCV available (v2.2.0), but it
Tbot: The Self-Balancing Transformer Robot
The Tbot project at IHMC was funded by the US Military (DARPA) to test different types of robot soldiers that could replace human US soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan, where large tanks are too bulky to fight in the inner city buildings. So the heads of DARPA
How to detect the color of a person’s shirt
The task of “Face Recognition”, where you want a computer to figure out who a person is from a photo of them, is a very difficult function to do well. But in some cases such as robotics, it may not be so important to figure
Controlling Dynamixel Motors through USB
This page contains info and tools for controlling the Robotis Dynamixel digital servo motors (RX-28, RX-64, etc) or Bioloid robots (AX-12 and AX-12+ motors) through a USB2Dynamixel adapter (or any RS485 interface). As you will see, Dynamixel motors provide a lot of power for their
ARM’s 64-bit mode (AArch64) ARMv8)
Good web presentation about AArch64: http://people.linaro.org/~rikuvoipio/aarch64-talk/#/ All AArch64 instructions are 32-bits long (instead of some 16-bit and some 32-bit). ARMv8 64-bit mode has doubled the register widths (64-bit instead of 32-bit) but also doubled the number of general CPU registers (32 instead of 16). When only
Do all versions of OpenCV run at the same speed?
OpenCV was originally created by Intel to demonstrate how fast Intel CPUs can perform, and therefore the speed performance of OpenCV was of crucial importance. However, OpenCV has recently changed from a low-level image processing C library built for maximum speed, to a higher-level computer
Draw graphs using OpenCV
Here is a basic graphing library to allow plotting graphs on the screen or into an image using OpenCV. This can be very useful to view the contents of a numerical array, such as during testing of an algorithm. This “library” is just a collection
