Converting images and videos to a single video

Converting a bunch of images and videos and slides to a single "marketing" video for a corridor display


I have found it useful for marketing to make a single video, put that on a USB stick and then display it on a corridor smart TV for visitors and students (in a university research lab). The problem is that adding new slides, videos etc. must be very easy - basically a simple configuration script such as:


BLACK - 5 "Laboratory of Signal Processing\n A story that started 40 years ago..."
#
IMAGE sgn_video_data/oscilloscope.png 5 "We started with hardcore signal processing..."
#
IMAGE sgn_video_data/civit.jpg 5 "Now we do all modern information processing..."
#
VIDEO sgn_video_data/unity_safety_comparison.mp4 10 "Projector-based HRI safety"
#
VIDEO sgn_video_data/tut_civit_workshop_converted.avi 20 "Immersive technologies"
#
VIDEO sgn_video_data/TUT_Campus_segmented_2_converted.avi 25 "Vision for autonomous vehicles"
#
VIDEO sgn_video_data/TUT_live_face_age.mp4 25 "Machine learning for face analysis"
#
IMAGE sgn_video_data/tuomas.jpg 5 "Dedicated teachers"
#
IMAGE sgn_video_data/sgn_pi_meeting_2017_autumn.jpg 5 "Young and ambitious academics"
#
AUDIO sgn_video_data/NeilYoung-KeepOnRockinInTheFreeWorld.mp3 - ""

I made a simple and ugly bash script for that purpose that requires ffmpeg and several other tools installed to your Linux. Code can be found from here:

Using citations in BSc and MSc theses

Kuva
Using citations in BSc/MSc theses Using references in the main text and using images from other works - below various ways to cite the works: Yang et al. [1] proposed a neural network controller for a wheel loader. Yang et al. do not have a safety system for their robot, but recently Augmented Reality (AR) based safety systems have gained momentum in robotics [2, 3]. In [2] a framework was proposed to perform real-time human-robot collaboration (HRC) for safe collaboration. One disadvantage of these methods is that they do not include ergonomic properties to the safety systems. Ergonomic properties can be included if the human body can be accurately measures. For example, Song et al. [4] proposed a method to scan the human body (Figure 1). Figure 1: 3D scans of human body often contain holes that need to be filled before further processing. [4] Special case for theses is when one paragraph is mainly from a single reference in which case the reference is at the end of the parag...

Compiling and running Deep Pyramid Deformable Part Model (DP-DPM) in Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS

The starting point is the Girshick's DP-DPM Github repository at https://github.com/rbgirshick/dp-dpm The repo has not been updated since 2015 and many of the libraries it uses may have been changed. Below some hacks to make it compile and run the main demo. Caffe DP-DPM recursively fetches the correct version of Caffe through git, but for installation you need to use old version of the installation instructions: https://github.com/BVLC/caffe/blob/cd0eda338e59e15b833e601061a493fd975e2ee3/docs/installation.md Many of the above are available via Ubuntu main repositories and seem to work: sudo apt-get install protobuf-compiler  sudo apt-get install libgflags-dev  sudo apt-get install libgoogle-glog-dev  sudo apt-get install libleveldb-dev  sudo apt-get install liblmdb-dev  sudo apt-get install libsnappy-dev sudo apt-get install libhdf5-serial-dev  sudo apt-get install libhdf5-dev  sudo apt-get install libatlas-dev sudo apt-get insta...

Installing and running Dlib on Ubuntu 16.04

Kuva
First I installed the dependencies (always local installation if possible) and then DLIB itself in roughly the following order: CUDA  Installed the latest CUDA by following the instructions in http://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/ . I used the network installation for Ubuntu 16.04 where everything is installed by typing $ sudo apt-get install cuda I rebooted my Linux and after that CUDA examples compiled and everything seemed working OK. cuDNN Enabling CUDA with dlib requires this NVidia extension and for that I registered as a developer, downloaded the Ubuntu 16.04 tar ball from  https://developer.nvidia.com/rdp/cudnn-download and installed it to the local directory (tar ball contains shares libraries and header files). OpenCV I downloaded the most recent source packages from  https://www.opencv.org/ and made a local installation (for that I changed the CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX). DLIB I followed the instructions in  http://dlib.net and the only difference ...
