It's time to talk about some of the applications that you might be able to hopefully, eventually, do. Yeah, that's the goal of this, is to set a foundation for you on which to build on. We wanted to talk to you a little bit about some of these cool things that we found on the internet, as well as just brainstorm some stuff that you can do with SimpleCV and OpenCV. Just computer vision, in general, for future projects. We want you to remember at least, don't reinvent the wheel, we have these libraries available to you. I believe Randy's going to provide them for you. >> Yeah. >> At least a method to retrieve them. >> Yeah. We'll go through a setup later on in the next lesson, I believe. >> Absolutely. Randy, what are some cool things that you could do with computer vision? >> We mentioned before, you can do things like setting up facial recognition, that would be pretty cool. We'll help you guys set that up. Create things such as filters to maybe edit colors or change the brightness, a lot of things that modern day cameras can do or applications such as Snapchat or Instagram. >> We thought of a really cool application, I mean feel free to use it everyone out there but taking in one of our sensors that we used in, I think, course three, along with maybe a stepper motor that you learned how to use in course three, and a camera with facial recognition. You show up to your door and the PIR sensor or some sensor triggers, then the camera takes a picture of your face. Does the camera recognize your face or does it not recognize your face? if it recognizes your face, the stepper motor triggers, opens up your deadbolt, you're in the door. If it doesn't recognize your face, it takes the picture, sends it to Randy's cell phone, and warns him that someone's at his door that he doesn't want there. So, a really cool application that takes in almost every single course that we've done so far in the specialization. You got the connectivity to the WiFi, Bluetooth, sending images across networks with the internet. >> The step promoter >> Step promoter. >> GPIL control. >> GPIL control in general, I know we're going to be coming out with some I2C sensors soon and you will actually also have access to really cool sensory board on 96boards.org. You check that out too, it's coming out for the Dragon Board 410C. Yeah, so really cool stuff that you can do. That's just one example, we will be talking about more right now. What other things can you do or create with Fast CV or CV, in general? >> This robot, I don't know if you've seen it on the internet, it's pretty creepy, actually, it's pretty creepy how it works. It's almost like a walking cow, but I mean, I've seen people kick it, I've seen people try. >> What? >> Have you seen that robot yet? >> No, I have not. >> Man. >> This is interesting. I'm learning here. >> Yeah, it's great. These people built this robot, Boston Dynamics. In fact, they have a lot of cool robots that Boston Dynamics built. They got a huge fund from DARPA to continue building this robot, making it better and it's all computer vision. Designed originally to help soldiers out in the field transport medical supplies, extra rations, food, ammunition. >> A bunch of gear that's heavy. >> Yeah, a bunch of gear that's heavy, absolutely, and it's all terrain. It's crazy. Look it up online. Look up Boston Dynamics on the YouTube, Boston Dynamics Robots. Really cool robots that they make. This one's really creepy because you just can't knock it over, on ice, on sand, dirt, whatever. Here's another cool thing and these are becoming more and more prominent, if that's the word, in households. Automated robots that kind of represent humanoids, so I guess you can call them semi-humanoid robots. You're going to start seeing stuff like this more and more as we dive more into computer vision and robotics and these microcontrollers and system on chip computers. Everything's getting more and more powerful, and you're going to start seeing interactive robots like this one, right here. Imagine going to a nursing home and no one there is ever lonely because they each have their own robot to talk to and play chess with and whatever. Not only that, I've seen some really cool stuff just recently at the AT&T Developer Summit. There was an application that someone developed for people with Alzheimer's, and as you can see right there, reminders, suggestions, prompts, scheduling, if you have any of these issues or disorders. The things that we take for granted everyday can be easily shown or done or I guess, what, taught to a robot, programmed into a robot. You'll start seeing these things pop up more and more and hopefully, you all out there are the ones who are kind of fueling this movement. This one was interesting, I picked this also off the internet. But these are unmanned jellyfish elimination robots and they're called called Jellyfish Elimination Robotic Swarms, JEROS. >> JEROS, however they pronounce it but they float in the ocean, they are there to manage jellyfish overpopulation. Now, I guess they drop some nets in there. First, obviously, they float around when they detect the movement. The camera detects a movement. It hopefully sees that it's a jellyfish, so there's some computer vision program in there that detects that it's a jellyfish. It drops a net, and then the net pulls the jellyfish up, and then there's some propeller that just obliterates it. >> Yeah. >> So that's how it does it. Yeah, I mean, there you go, more ways to use motion sensors, computer vision and motors. >> These are just a couple of suggestions or ideas or real world applications out there and don't forget you can, of course, come up with your own ideas, go ahead and try to implement them, things like that. >> Yeah, so, there you go, those were some examples. There's hundreds, thousands, probably, examples out there. You can go ahead and search for more computer vision cool projects that people have done. Or maybe you have one in mind and you want to amaze us on the discussions. Go ahead, show us what you got. Other than that, please stick around because we're going to be getting into the development of our application, coming up shortly.
