Abstract:
Computer vision is a field that includes methods for acquiring, processing, analyzing, and understanding images and, in general, high-dimensional data from the real world in order to produce numerical or symbolic information, e.g., in the forms of decisions. I'll break down the installation of OpenCV on Ubuntu (although there's support for Windows, Mac, iOS and Android) on x86, x86_64 and ARM based devices. I built an automated script that does all the heavy lifting of installing and compiling FFMPEG (x264, fdk-aac, libvpx, libopus) and OpenCV from source. This will get you the latest and greatest OpenCV with Java and Python bindings. Then I'll move into Java examples for motion and people detection. Finally I'll cover a new project I'm working on called Java Video Processor that uses a plugin based architecture and lose coupling to provide a complete Computer Vision solution. I'll try to stay away from the rocket science of computer vision and focus how you can get started without a PhD.
Presenter Bio:
Senior level professional with extensive experience in architecture, development, testing, continuous build processes, declarative and meta programming. I have worked for insurance, real estate, finance and technology companies. I'm currently focusing on large scale middleware built with open standards. I have led/managed development teams as well as being in the trenches. I enjoy the total life cycle challenge of R&D, networking, deploying servers, database design, developing code and post production support. I have over 34 years of experience in the Computer Science field with 27 years of that being an IT professional.

Microsoft has announced a new Sponsorship feature on NuGet.org, designed to help package maintainers receive direct financial support from the community. As stated in the official announcement, the goal is to “make it easier than ever for consumers to recognize and support the authors behind their favorite packages,” while strengthening the overall .NET ecosystem.

AI is no longer a research experiment or a novelty: it is part of the software delivery pipeline. Teams are learning that integrating AI into production is less about model performance and more about architecture, process, and accountability. In this issue on AI Assisted Development, we examine what happens after the proof of concept and how AI changes the way we build, and operate systems.

Generative testing uncovers hidden software bugs by exploring the input space and verifying system invariants. This surpasses example-based tests that rely on known scenarios and can miss edge cases.
