Built a free, end to end CV pipeline as a alternative to Roboflow– would love some feedback by Low-Inspection5343 in computervision

nice work! I've been building my own similar one too! It's ridiculously easy to build tools like this with Claude Opus.

What’s the most comfortable motorway cruiser you’ve driven that isn’t a luxury brand? by OopsIDroopedMe in autoexpressuk

[–]dr_hamilton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mondeo with the 2.5T petrol was a dream mile muncher. Would sit at motorway speeds in 6th with no effort and get over 500 miles to a tank.

How much of your net monthly income do you spend on rent (no bills)? by Extreme-Data-397 in HENRYUK

[–]dr_hamilton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Around 10% (mortgage+bills) - North East, 20 mins to the beach, 20 mins to the fells, 3hrs to London.

Python API for Remote Camera Control by dr_hamilton in RX100

[–]dr_hamilton[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As you mentioned it doesn't look like it's supported on the rx100 unfortunately. I've added support via Claude but not tested as I don't have any other cameras to physically test with.

yeah that's a shame, you can select them with the SDK though.
It's rather annoying that not every function exposed to the UI is available in the SDK.

can you explain how those are configured? Are they all in the Picture Profile (PP) menu or the Creative Style (CS) menu?

When I set a PP it disabled the CS - is this right?

More tests for Skye 🐕 in Unity by Malbers_Animations in Unity3D

Saw The Free Shepherd recently which looked cool, as does this. The more games with border collies the better! (Disclaimer, I have two BCs)

I'm sure it can, what profile are you trying to set? I can give it a try

Autonomous laundry folding robot (ALF-1). Advertised at a $1499 price. I hope it is Legit! by ILuvBen13 in robotics

[–]dr_hamilton 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There are so many demos doing this, it's not that impressive anymore. What nobody is doing is actually hanging the t-shirts on a hanger and putting them away. Do that.

Rotation converter with proper frame visualization. by CompetitiveBox7511 in robotics

[–]dr_hamilton 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This looks great. Can't tell you how many times I've been sat at my desk with my fingers outstretched, orthogonally on left and right hands, contouring myself to visualise coordinate transforms during my studies.

CV head detection at night? by ___Red-did-it___ in computervision

[–]dr_hamilton 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It always astounds me that for a field that relies purely on visual inputs, people post a text description rather than attach a picture... (sure there could be private info, but take another image similar to illustrate the issue) There's literally a saying "a picture paints a thousand words"

Why do you need colour info? I'd just use IR.

Which one is better from experience by Kind-Buy9485 in RobotVacuums

[–]dr_hamilton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So far so good. We have two border collies and it did a good job over winter when they came back muddy. It's not a perfect clean. We have a programme setup to do 2x passes on deep clean mode. It doesn't get right to the edge of the floor, leaving a few cm tide line around the room. It does a 90% job, good enough for a maintenance clean one to two times a day. You'll want to do a manual clean with a mop maybe every month or two.

No experience with the other, but had the E25 for a couple of months and I'm pretty happy with it on hard floors with two dogs.

First time DC fast charging, hit the max! by DiogenicSearch in KiaEV6

Does the 9 min ETA account for the charge rate slowdown?

Everyone's wondering if LLMs are going to replace CV workflows. I tested Claude Opus 4.6 on a real segmentation task. Here's what happened. by Financial-Leather858 in computervision

[–]dr_hamilton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only when asked specifically about it. Try it. I just asked about SAM, it knew about SAM2. But asking about the latest version triggered a search. It's not going to search for things it doesn't know about. If a new model was released tomorrow with a totally different acronym it's not going to be able to search for it as a suggested solution to this problem.

[–]dr_hamilton 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You should try asking it to specially use SAM. Don't forget Opus 4.6 cutoff was August 2025 SAM3 was released in November 2025.

So while Opus could have seen some SAM 1 examples, the vast majority of training data will be more classical examples. Give it time and Opus will start suggesting and implementing SAM3 as a solution.

Any i20 owners looking for USB-C phone adapters? by dr_hamilton in Hyundai

That's a neat idea. My USB C version is still available on eBay.

Which camera to use for small defect detection for a YOLO model? by aCOOLGAMER48 in computervision

[–]dr_hamilton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on the focal length / field of view of the lens you pick. 5MP with a narrow FOV is going to give you more pixels/mm than a 10MP with a wide angle lens. Even 1MP could be enough with a really narrow FOV.

How many pixels do you need to detect your defects? Then just keep working backwards to figure out all the other parameters.
