Internship Daily

This week, my friend from my country started to do intership at University of Liverpool with me. Her name is Maksude Tuğçe Zile. We will work on a Project that involves measuring angles and distances between spesific landmarks in facial images. We will prefer to Python programming languages because my final Project was about opencv with python. We will try to place a point spesific landmarks in human's faces.(for instance we want to detect eye right outer and eye right inner etc. ) I am going to show how to detect eyes and eyebrows with opencv using dlib library. What is Facial Landmark Detection ? Facial Landmark Detection is a computer vision topic and it deals with the problem of detecting distinctive features in human faces automatically. Tip of the nose Corners of the eyes Corners of the eyebrows Corners of the mouth Eye pupils The detected landmarks are used in several different applications. How to install Dlib ? Dlib is a modern C++ toolkit containing machin...

How can you develop iOS apps on a Windows PC? The short answer is… you can’t!We need to have an iMac or Macbook to develop iOS applications. Hovewer, There are plenty of options to get around that. The problem is Xcode, the Integrated Development Environment (IDE) you use to design, develop and publish iOS apps. Xcode includes the Swift compiler, Interface Builder, and tools to upload your app to the App Store. Xcode contains everything you need to build iOS apps, and it only runs on Mac OS X. It is not rational to buy a new MacBook for beginner level programmer. There are already a few iMacs in the labs. I can use one of these if I need to. Now let's come up with how to develop the application on windows. The easiest way to develop iOS apps on a Windows PC is by making use of a virtual machine. A virtual machine will create an environment an operating system can run in, as if it’s running on the hardware itself. Firstly, I've downloaded MacOS iso file  here . A...

Today I've continued to scan fish eggs. The main purpose of scanning fish eggs is  to see each egg clearly because we want to count eggs by the help of mobile phone. After that we need to compare each photo to decide which method is suitable. As I said before, we will use image processing. Hovever, Which methods? I will decide to this. An example of scanned fish eggs

This my second day in this university. Today, we went to science center with Dr.Waleed in the campus center. Waleed showed me fish eggs. I will develop smart app that can counting fish eggs. I am gonna use IOS platform this application. It is impossible to devolop an app witout Mac computer. I haven't got a Mac but will setup MacOS on Windows via virtual machine. Actually I have never worked with IOS platform but I will try it.

The morning of my first day at University of Liverpool. It wasn`t very hard to find this university, because my place that I stay is very near. I was so excited to meet Dr. Waleed. He supported me to come here. Firstly, He introduced me the university. Then we went to laboratories that I will work in. He introduced me other students, Joel,Elisha & Matt. They are very kindly and friendly. This lab a bit larger than my home university`s labs. There are a lot of electronic components that I can use. I would like to study here. I may be do master, why not? This lab has excellent dedicates  facilities for researcher. I`m going to work on image processing to track fish actions. I will try to develop smart app with my team. I hope it will be perfect experience for me.  This week will be good opportunity to get used to here and getting know other students.
