Small announcement. Meeting at CVPR08?

Dear OpenCV developers,

With a great pleasure I would like to inform you that I have moved to a
small CV company contracted by Willow Garage for the further work on OpenCV.
That is, at least for the nearest year or two I will work full time on
the library. And not only me, but a few other people from our original
team will also contribute to the library.

It all became possible thanks to Gary, who, as you probably know, has
been the founder of OpenCV and still actively promotes the library and
uses it for Robotics projects (and thanks to WG management, of course,
who supported the idea). Gary now works for WG and will be our supervisor.

Gary, me and Alex will come to CVPR this June in Alaska. If you happen
to be there, we invite you to the meeting (probably host a lunch) for
hand shaking and future plans/roadmap discussion. Of course, if you can
not attend, do not worry, the major points will be posted to this list
and be the discussion continues here (well, it can start here as well).

Regards,
Vadim

Thanks Vadim

More specifically, if you are going to CVPR 2008, let me know.  We'd like to host a "meet and greet" meeting and discuss ideas for OpenCV (what to fix, what to add etc).

Willow Garage (www.willowgarage.com a well funded new robotics research institute) is now supporting OpenCV, still on friendly terms and in cooperation with Intel.  Thus, you will see OpenCV become much more actively updated, bug fixed, documented, more responsive and more open to user input and contributions. 

Willow Garage's focus is on robotics, so you will see some focus in that direction starting with better calibration and stereo, ability to work with 3D sensors such as Lidar etc. Probably also a lot of support for 2D but especially 2D+3D and 3D object recognition and pose.  However, there will be more cycles to support things the vision community thinks are important, hence, we'd like a kick off meeting at CVPR this year.  There will be others in the future.

Let me know if you'll be there.

Hi Vadim,


  Good luck on your new adventure. I look forward to seeing you new work.

I won't make it to CVPR, but I'm sure you'll have lots of fun.


Good luck,

Adi

Hi,

I think CVPR08 is over. So what did you decide concerning future  
versions of OpenCV. Please let us share your plans. ;-)

With best wishes, Stefan

Stefan,

Unfortunately, not many OpenCV developers came, so there was no a dedicated meeting. We just had a lunch with Daniel Filip from Google who considers contributing their efficient C++ wrappers for OpenCV that they extensively use. On Tuesday we meet at Google and discuss it.
May be, it would make sense to schedule another meeting somewhere in Europe, where most of OpenCV developers are located.
Anyhow, main directions for OpenCV (at least, for WG part of the team) are pretty much defined: better calibration, stereo, elements of 3D reconstruction, salient feature toolbox, better C++ and Python interfaces. Also, the OpenCV book comes out in this fall. OpenCV 1.1 would be very nice to have in Q4.

Regards,
Vadim

Hi Vadim,

Okay. A meeting in Europe would be nice. Is Google using OpenCV for  
the Photosynth project?

With best wishes, Stefan

Hi Stefan,

I can not say for sure, which projects use OpenCV. For me the
functionality of the wrappers was more important so we mainly discussed
that part :)
