RoboCup 2016

The #robocup_2016 is almost over now, today was the last day of it, B-Human got first and UT Austin got second, but they both played really well. The outdoor field was quite challenging, and also the new (white) ball. Although most of the team could see the ball, but almost all of them had problem with farther ball.
Today is ending, and everyone are packing up, maybe heading home. It's quite good to heading back home, but somehow it's looks a bit sad, we are going to say good-bye to all of our friends, and leave.
However, I am not going to go back right after the robocup, I am going to visit some friend and take a look around.

Stage #1 - Replanting a pineapple

Image
I just have read an article about replanting a pineapple, and guess what; here I am! After reading couple of search queries, I decided to start this process. Let's see what happens! I have removed the rest of the fruit. Also, removed the lower leafs. According to the article [and search queries], I should wait couple of days till the lower part is completely dries. Then I can soak it into water for few weeks and hopefully the roots start to grow! Afterward, I am able to plant it in the clay. The only problem is I need somewhere with really high amount of sunlight! [Which there is none in my room...]. A Pineapple If everything goes well, this cute plant will be my friend for a while. I really enjoy having such a thing on my desk. Please let me know if you have ever tried to replant a pineapple. I am really looking for some experience in this field!

YOLO

Yolo, a great library my Colleague (Ashkan) and I have found for detecting objects. YOLO stands for Y ou O nly L ook O nce, and its a deep learning computer vision library [1]. The code base is on C (not C++) and it has GPU support. These features along with the availability of designing new layers make it awesome. But the most significant feature of this library is its speed in detecting objects in real life. The default network on this project is trained to detect variety range of objects. However, the library has a huge disadvantage. It's written in C, which makes it hard to further developments. Although, there is C++ wrapper for it in [2], but the library isn't satisfying. I am still try it to fit it in my program, but after a week no progress has been attained yet... I planed to rewrite the wrapper (and in worst case the library itself) to see if I am able to  1) compile it under c++ and integrate it in my program. and 2) to see if can improve it even faster. The Y
