kandi X-RAY | silhouette Summary

silhouette is a Python library typically used in Internet of Things (IoT), Arduino applications. silhouette has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities, it has build file available, it has a Permissive License and it has high support. You can download it from GitHub.

I have two Silhouette vinyl cutters, the Cameo and the Portrait. I really like them, they are versatile cutters and plotters. For a recent project, I needed to cut discs from 1/32" thick neoprene rubber, and this presented an array of challenges. It was impossible to cut the rubber with just one or two passes with the knife. Correct and accurate cutting requires many passes of the knife, stepping the pressure up every few passes. Silhouette Studio, the software that is bundled with the cutter shines in some areas and is dreadful in others. Proving to be tedious and laborious, the bundled software was a poor fit for the parameters of this task. There had to be a better way!. Through a combination of reverse-engineering and scrounging of the internet, I was able to piece together enough technical information such that I could move, draw, and alter speed and pressure from python code. This video demonstrates how my code solved the problem of cutting rubber. I have written the beginnings of a framework, but I need your help! If you are interested in controlling Silhouette cutters with Python, perhaps you would like to assist in fleshing out this library. I need help with documentation, testing, and other features like support SVG and DXF files.

            Vedo Plotter in Qt - Mouse Click Event not registering at the correct position
            Asked 2022-Apr-02 at 19:48

            I have tried several different things about the mouse clicks not registering correctly in my Qt mainwindow. When using only my QHD monitor, the program worked just fine (video). However, when using my laptop (zoomed in at 1792 x 1120) as the only display, the mouse clicks seemed to have a varying up-right offset and register more accurately near the bottom left corner of the widget (video). I am suspicious that the screen resolution of the display might cause a problem for vedo.

            The mouse event is a vedo plotter event. Changing the "screensize", "size", "pos" attributes of the plotter did not fix the issue.

            I looked up some examples provided by vedo, specifically mousehover.py and qt_window1.py. The mousehover example worked fine on my laptop. However, adding a clicking event in qt_window1.py also created the same issue. Therefore, the problem most likely was caused by the qt widget.

            This turns out to be an upstream bug in vtk, unrelated to vedo. After downgrading VTK to version 8.1.2 and Python to 3.7, the clicking issue disappeared when running the program on my laptop. Other people also encountered the same problem, and here is an error report on vtk’s website that describes how vtkPropPicker is now returning the wrong world coordinates.

            Uniquely identify objects in a scene using multiple calibrated cameras
            Asked 2022-Mar-15 at 22:33

            I have a setup with multiple cameras that all point towards the same scene. All cameras are calibrated to the same world coordinate system (i.e.: I know the location of all the cameras with respect to the origin of the world coordinate system). In each image from the cameras, I will detect objects in the scene (segmentation). My goal is to count all objects in the scene and I do not want to count an object twice as it will appear in multiple images. This means that if I detect an object in image A and I detect an object in image B, then I should be able to confirm that this is the same object or not. It should be possible to do this using the 3D info I have due to my calibrated cameras. I was thinking of the following:

            • Voxel carving. I create silhouettes out of all images with the detected objects. I apply voxel carving and then count the unique number of clustered voxels I have. this will be the number of unique objects in the scene?

            • I also thought about for example taking the center of the object and then casting a ray from it into the 3D world, this for each camera and then detecting if the lines cross each other (from different cameras). But this would be very error-prone as the objects might have a slightly different size/shape in each image and the center might be off. Also, the locations of the cameras are not 100% exact, which will result in the ray being off.

            What would be a good approach to tackle this issue?

            Do you only know "object", but no categories or identities, and no other image information other than a bounding box or mask? Then it's impossible.

            Consider a stark simplification because I don't feel like drawing viewing frustrums right now

            Black boxes are real objects. Left and bottom axis are projections of those. Dark gray boxes would also be valid hypotheses of boxes, given these projections.

            You can't tell where the boxes really are.

            If you had something to disambiguate different object detections, then yes, it would be possible.

            One very fine-detail variant of that would be block matching to obtain disparity maps (stereo vision). That's a special case of "Structure from Motion".

            If your "objects" have texture, and you are willing to calculate point clouds, then you can do it.

            hclust returns just a dendrogram representing clusters inside clusters. The silhouette score is defined on one specific clustering and not on all possible clusterings. This is why it works with Partitioning Arround Medoids (PAM) out of the box. In hierarchical clustering, however, one needs to decide first which clustering to chose by cutting dendrogram tree.

            This is how to plot the silhouettes for a hierarchical clustering using k=5 clusters:

            Showing highlighted silhouette of mesh ONLY when it is occluded
            Asked 2022-Feb-22 at 09:36

            so I'm trying to create an online game using Babylon.js but have run into a problem thats got me a little stumped so hoping someone here would be willing to help me out. Please bear with me on this one, i'm a complete newbie with babylon as i've only every worked with THREE.js. Right now my game consists of a scene compromising of multiple meshes with multiple users represented as avatars (created from basic circle geometry for the moment) loaded into an environment. What I want to do is highlight the outline of these avatars ONLY when they are occluded by any other object, meaning that when they are not occluded they look normal with no highlight but when behind an object their highlighted silhouette can be seen by others (including yourself as you can see your own avatar). This is very akin to effects used in many other video games (see example below).

            Example of Effect

            Thus far, based on some googling and forum browsing (Babylonjs outline through walls & https://forum.babylonjs.com/t/highlight-through-objects/8002/4) I've figured out how to highlight the outline of objects using Babylon.HighlighLayer and I know that i can render objects above others via RenderingGroups but I can't seem to figure out how to use them in conjunction to create the effect I want. The best i've managed to do is get the highlighted avatar render above everything but I need just the silhouette not the entire mesh. I'm also constrained by the fact that my scene has many meshes in it that are loaded dynamically and i'm also trying to keep things as optimal as possible. Can't afford to use very computationally expensive procedures.

            Anybody know of the best way to approach this? Would greatly appreciate any advice or assistance you can provide.Thanks!

            ANSWER

            Answered 2022-Jan-11 at 12:49

            The optimal number of clusters is based either on your presumptions, e.g. equal to the highest number of items, or you can determine it empirically. To do that, you run the algorithm for different numbers of k and calculate the error of the clustering, for example by calculating MSE between all members of a cluster and the cluster center. Then you'd have to make a decision between the acceptable error (which most likely decreases with the number of clusters) and whether a larger number of clusters still makes sense for the task at hand.

            To reduce time complexity of the empirical approach, you can change three variables: the maximum for K, the number of iterations and the number of samples used in the parameter sweep. If you want the most optimal solution, you are best served to take the day to run this. However, if you are hard pressed for time or suspect you need to rerun this at some point, I advise you to use a subset of your data for hyperparameter searches.

            More practically speaking, I think you will find k << len(items, so your search range can probably be greatly reduced. Combine that with a subset of the data points and you should save a lot of time.
