This post was originally published on OpenCV.AI Easier access to OpenCV for Android through Maven Central In December, we released OpenCV 4.9.0. As part of that release, we made Android builds available through the Maven Central repository for the first time. This work is supported by Arm company, the authors of the computer architecture on which Android and the world’s smartphones are built. OpenCV is the open-source library for developing and deploying computer vision (CV) workloads. Its availability for Android will make it easier to develop and maintain CV applications for Android systems ..read more

Introduction 2024 is the year of Generative AI with the likes of Claude 3 in text generation, Devin AI with software engineering, and even taking strides in image generation with Stable Diffusion 3. It’s been over a month since Stable Diffusion, so let us explore what Stability AI’s new cutting-edge model has to offer! What is Stable Diffusion? Stable Diffusion is the brainchild of Stability AI, an open AI brand based in the United Kingdom. It is a group of open-source models used to generate images. Most commonly used as text-to-image generation, it also serves image-to-image and performs inp ..read more

At the heart of computer vision lies image classification, a technology that empowers computers to categorize images into distinct groups. This capability forms the foundation for countless applications that have become integral to our daily lives. From facial recognition that secures our devices to classification algorithms that sort through our digital photo albums, image classification helps bridge the gap between digital imagery and actionable insights. The evolution of image classification is proof to the ground we’ve covered in technology, with deep learning and Convolutional Neural Netw ..read more

Introduction The current AI market is booming, especially in the Generative AI universe, with the launch of OpenAI’s ChatGPT-4 back in 2023 and Anthropic AI’s Claude 3 earlier this month. These models are easing the jobs of Content developers, and now there’s a Software Engineer in town. Less than 72 hours ago, Cognition released Devin, the world’s first fully autonomous AI Software Engineer, setting a new standard of state-of-the-art on the SWE-bench coding benchmark. With just a single prompt, Devin is capable of writing code or creating websites, much like a human software engineer. Before ..read more

Introduction The race to develop advanced AI tech, especially in Chatbots, is attracting a lot of players. One such instance is OpenAI’s ChatGPT. It was the talk of the town when it hit the chatbot scene in 2023. Driven by Generative AI tech, it is one of the most used tools for various tasks, ranging from composing emails to writing code. Another highly performing chatbot came out in early 2023 – Claude, courtesy of Google and Anthropic AI, an Amazon-backed start-up. With over 350,000 waitlist sign-ups for Claude 2, the second version, it is one of the most booming chatbots to come out.  ..read more
