Computer Vision: Facebook Detectron 2 object detection algorithms #52

Open ClaudeSChretien opened 4 years ago

ClaudeSChretien commented 4 years ago

Computer vision was a very popular topic when I did my internship at the Canadian defense back in 2018. It has continue to improve since. I just saw that a new version of the powerful computer vision library from Facebook got released.

https://github.com/facebookresearch/detectron2

I don't know if you already have any talk regarding computer vision, but it might be interesting. The talk can cover different topics:

Real time algorithms. is 2s per image is enough?
Different level of detection (Classification, localisation, segmentation)
How to install Detectron.
Possibilities with the library.
Hardware available (Nvidia Jetson, Xavier etc..)

Thanks!

I don't think we've had a computer vision talk, certainly not recently! I think this definitely sounds interesting.

Are you offering to present this yourself?

ClaudeSChretien commented 4 years ago

Great! I would really like to give the talk about this topic. What would be the next steps? Do you need a summary of the presentation? Thanks! :)

kaiw commented 4 years ago

No, we just need a talk title, and to figure out dates where you might be prepared to give the talk!

We currently have a slot to fill on Wednesday February 12th, if you think you could be ready by then?

Hi Kaiw, That's perfect for me for February 12th. How much time do I have? For the title, what about:

Detectron2, the Facebook open source computer vision platform. Might be too specific, feel free to modify it. Thanks! :)

kaiw commented 4 years ago

Great! I've updated https://github.com/BrisPy/talks/blob/master/README.md with your talk, so you'll be in the second slot.

As for time, we usually target talks at about 25 minutes + 5 minutes questions, but if you're a little over or under then that's also fine.

That's perfect for me. Thanks! :)
