24 alternatives to AR hand puppets and more from 2D/3D feature point extraction CNNs
If you got past the jargon of the title, you probably have at least a passing interest in computer vision. However, fear not! This is going to be a fairly gentle walk-through of some of my projects at the intersection… Continue reading Real-Time 2D/3D Feature Point Extraction from a Mobile Ca

ProductMap AI▲160Hey HN, I built ProductMap AI, a tool that automatically identifies features implemented in source code and organizes them in a visual hierarchy. The goal is to help developers quickly understand poorly documented codebases. Link: https://product-map.ai/ I’d love feedback from the HN community! Let me know what you think. Would this be useful for you?

Just a fun hack I did while bored over the weekend. My wife was busy shopping, it got me thinking that can VLMs solve the indoor location problem in a mall? Can I just show a VLM a map and an image and have it doa good enough job locating me? I hacked this P.O.C and it seems to work.

Hello HN! I want to share something me and a few friends have been working on for a while now — Zeroshot, a web tool that builds image classifiers using text-image models and autolabeling. What does this mean in practice? You can put together an image classifier in about 30 seconds that’s faster and more accurate than CLIP, but that you can deploy yourself however you’d like. It’s open source, commercially licensed, and doesn’t require you to pay anyone per API call. Here's a 2 minute video that shows it off: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4R1gtmM-Lo How/why does it…

Hello HN, I recently posted a work-in-progress paper, along with code necessary for replicating all its results, at: https://github.com/glassroom/heinsen_routing Among other things, the code in this repo outperforms Hinton et al.'s recent state-of-the-art result in visual recognition[0] while requiring fewer parameters and an order-of-magnitude fewer training epochs. Most of the original research we do at work tends to be either proprietary in nature or tightly coupled to internal code, so we cannot share it with the world. In this case, however, I was able to remove all…

From 8 -> 5 -> 4 exocentric cameras, all visualized with rerun.io. I've been working on human pose capture for robotics training data and have started making it more accessible by dropping the number of cameras used and collecting my own data to make sure I'm not overfitting to open-source datasets. I've made lots of improvements to the calibration code and ended up merging the full body estimator with the hands only. Also FINALLY got ego synced and working in the full thing. Full body model really excels in exo views and is worth using if one can get a get view of the upper body, and hands…

Commented on yesterday's Ask HN: What are you working on? (August 2026), thought I might as well submit a Show HN. If you see climbing world cup/championship, there is this 3D modelling thing [1]. I want that for my weekly bouldering. I scanned my local climbing gym into 3D mesh using iphone. Built a simple editor to trim, merge, move/rotate meshes. You can interact with the mesh, view routes, view climb, etc. So this is unlike many gaussian splatting projects where the main use is for viewing. I built a pipeline in updating climbing walls. Climbing routes are manually annotated.…

Starting today, DirectAI’s Zero-Shot Image Classification & Object Detection APIs are public. Define classes and objects exclusively in natural language - no training data required. And if something goes wrong, you can resolve the edge case in natural language too! We’ve been hard at work to bring powerful and controllable computer vision to everybody. To do this, we’re building novel ways of interacting with the knowledge stored in large foundation models. We’re bootstrapping from zero-shot methods to create new approaches that allow for more control over decision boundaries, without…

Upon getting a Leap Motion and wanting to hack the ever-loving crap out of it, we decided to make some gesture recognizers that allow listening and handling motions such as: Did swipe right with x fingers, y hands Did pan on screen with x fingers, y hands Did tap with x fingers, y hands Did rotate with x fingers, y hands Did pinch with x fingers, y hands These libraries make it easy to create a WPF or a Cocoa Mac OS X application for manipulating and using the Leap Motion. These are built on top of the Leap SDK, and a level of abstraction up. We hope that this can be the foundation for a…
