Sharing My Misery

Tag: Exhausted, Tech TalkJohn @ 5:02 pm

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you The Worst Presentation Ever. Why am I sharing it? I know it’s very dry material and all, but I know at least a couple people who would enjoy making a “remix” of it with some pizazz.

In my defense, it’s been awhile since I’ve written much here besides short “OMG! look at this link! LOL!” posts. It’s been awhile since I wrote anything of length really, which is why the assignment I just finished for my Computer Vision class was so difficult. I’d like to tell you that it’s less confusing if you were in the class or had read the article it’s describing, but… well here’s my explanation:

So there are these matrices and matrices have ranks. We want rank 4 matrices because that’s what works for some reason. So we manipulate our data so we have rank 4 matrices. We use these to enforce rigidity on the images. When we iterate over the images enough times the matrices with the correct values will be the most rank deficient. Then they tested some datasets and made pretty graphs. Matrix.

I doubt the people who wrote the article can make sense of it to be honest.

Remember those creepy “reborns”? Compared to these dolls of baby chimeras they’re downright normal.

it’s not a hobby, it’s a cry for help
