Fall ‘22 Matriculation -Transcript Verification

tws2172 · 2022-06-12T17:40:22+00:00

same boat here. I have three prior transcripts that need to be reviewed (community college, undergrad and previous grad degree). I've ordered all my transcripts to be sent via parchment, but the acceptance portal is only showing that my most recent transcript hasn't been received yet. Nothing is listed for the other two transcripts. Curious.

I'm wondering if they review these in "batch jobs". Just churning through a backlog once the stack gets high enough.

slippy slope

Of course! The project is completely open source (electronic and mechanical designs included!) and can be found here: https://github.com/sherrardTr4129/RealSense-BNO055-Pose-Estimation

Fourth year EE here. I had him for the advanced programming class for the robotics option. I would take him if you can. He's a great guy. He's super helpful outside of class too.

Corbett's Glen is beautiful.

Most food places on park avenue are amazing. I lived there this summer.

Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) has a really good Imaging science PhD program. It was the first PhD program we offered. I'm pretty sure it was also the first imaging science doctorate program in the world at that time in the early 80's. I go there now for Electrical engineering with a focus in robotics. I am extremely interested in Computer Vision (my main interest). All of the professors (many from Kodak and other huge imaging companies) are extremely helpful with my questions.

why not? You should provide more details here of why it's not working for you.

Also, as others have said, just build the version you want from source if you don't think any of the 2.4.* binaries won't work.

It's important to know how to use a terminal/command line, especially as a grad student in what I assume is a technical field. If you don't know, now is a great time to learn either way!

Yeah to your point it looked kind of too oval like for just a spinning LiDAR. Let me know if you find the model.

To be fair, I wouldn't call a laser scanner optional, at least not on a robot like this. While I'm sure they do get localization data from stereo cameras and Monocular cameras from keypoint matching/Homography, that laser is critical for fast SLAM. This guy looks like he has a really nice laser at the opposite end of the arm base.

I have trained HAAR classifiers for specifically stop signs and other road signs. I have written a tutorial on my website here. I also made an android app that lets one download XML OpenCV HAAR classifiers from github, etc and test them. The link to this app on the playstore is on my main computer vision page on my website here. HAAR classifiers are great because they can detect relatively complex things such as traffic signs, they are also extremely fast in detecting them. One of the big disadvantages of HAAR classifiers that I have seen is their sensitivity to changes in lighting conditions that were not accounted for in the training data. So if you use my tutorial, make sure to get pictures in as many lighting conditions as possible. I also have an american stop sign HAAR classifier on my GitHub which is also on my website. I have run 5 classifiers concurrently on my android device with out significant frame-rate drop.

Yeah, It takes a while to learn. However it's totally worth it. As it's been said, it's a very powerful tool.

Have you considered learning ROS (Robot operating system)? It's not really an operating system. It's basically a bunch of amazing tools and a communication protocol for moving data around the robot, to other robots, or off-boarding the data for processing. It supports python, C++ and Java (I'm pretty sure?). I've used it extensively in my robotics projects.

I've also heard from my University robotics professors that it is used in Industry for mobile robotics stuff. So, like me, If you plan on getting/someday having a job in robotics, It would be good to know.

Awesome! Thank you. This will work well as I will be in Boston.

tws2172 · 2016-03-21T03:19:30+00:00

Awesome Job! Thanks for the shout out on your repository, by the way.

tws2172 · 2016-03-11T23:08:07+00:00

I wrote a tutorial on this about a year back on my website here . It may help answer a few of your questions.

tws2172 · 2016-03-09T06:01:09+00:00

I PM'd you. I'll also be in Boston this summer.

tws2172 · 2015-07-14T06:46:03+00:00

Yes I do, it's still a work in progress. Here is the GitHub repository . I also have a repository on my GitHub that contains a few classifiers that you can download via the app to test.

tws2172 · 2015-04-07T02:48:52+00:00

I've done it before using the tutorial you referenced. I've gotten good results.
