**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon Aug 29 02:59:58 2016 Aug 29 13:05:14 Hi!! anybody active? Aug 29 13:05:29 av500: _av500_: there? Aug 29 13:18:46 kiran4399: yes Aug 29 13:19:17 av500: did you see alexhiam? Aug 29 13:19:40 av500: its been like a week or 10 days I saw him.. Aug 29 13:26:44 hi jkridner Aug 29 13:27:06 check this structure http://imgur.com/a/rQH67 Aug 29 13:33:47 kiran4399: he was active yesterday Aug 29 13:33:50 per email at least Aug 29 13:36:09 I sent him an email yesterday.. but did not get any reply.. the results are in about 6 hours right? Aug 29 13:36:15 av500: ^^ Aug 29 15:31:27 hey m_w ! Aug 29 15:32:02 How are you? Aug 29 15:32:27 hey chanakya_vc, good Aug 29 15:32:50 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aglidIqSrnE Aug 29 15:33:15 watching some youtube Aug 29 15:33:46 You were right BBB not capable of handling data from kinect. Aug 29 15:33:57 m_w, Cool I will watch it as well Aug 29 15:34:10 m_w: has something been done on the beaglebone black gpu? Aug 29 15:34:13 Just waiting for the final evals to get over m_w . Aug 29 15:36:05 kiran4399: what do you mean? Aug 29 15:37:23 m_w: like is there any library which when used, enables a program to run on GPU? like opencl or cuda etc.? Aug 29 15:43:17 http://derekmolloy.ie/beaglebone/beaglebone-video-capture-and-image-processing-on-embedded-linux-using-opencv/ Aug 29 15:45:03 looks like GPU support isn't that easy on the BBB Aug 29 15:46:21 http://blog.lemoneerlabs.com/3rdParty/Darling_BBB_30fps_DRAFT.html Aug 29 15:49:34 https://imgtec.com/blog/instagram-like-computational-photography-powervr-sgx-gpus/ Aug 29 15:51:15 the sgx GPU uses proprietary IP so it is difficult to extend to general purpose GPU offloading Aug 29 15:59:36 if you have a bunch of free time to figure it out yourself it is probably possible Aug 29 16:00:15 m_w: can there be a plauible project relating to gpu for gsoc? Aug 29 16:00:51 m_w: *plausible Aug 29 16:02:16 kiran4399: I am afraid it would be too difficult to finish in one gsoc Aug 29 16:02:46 unless a bunch of preliminary stuff was done before starting Aug 29 16:08:58 http://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/cuda-samples/#axzz4IjpEWPFl Aug 29 16:09:26 ^^ there are some opengles example for cuda here Aug 29 16:14:01 also may not prove to be very effective Aug 29 18:05:32 hey bradfa !! Aug 29 18:08:12 hi chanakya_vc Aug 29 18:09:19 Been working on connecting kinect to BBB without any success for the past few days bradfa . Aug 29 18:10:02 Any ideas/ suggestions as to how this could be done? Aug 29 18:11:13 chanakya_vc: sorry, I've not used a kinect before Aug 29 18:12:22 Ohh bradfa . I have developed a sudden interest in robotics..so I have been working on image processing and kinect. Aug 29 18:12:31 chanakya_vc: neat :) Aug 29 18:12:42 chanakya_vc: I fear the bbb might be a little underpowered to do decent image processing Aug 29 18:13:52 I fear so too :( . Would have been wonderful to have an embedded platform ubiquitous as the BBB do serious image processing bradfa . Aug 29 18:14:11 Thinking of applying for this:http://www.ri.cmu.edu/research_project_view.html?menu_id=261 bradfa Aug 29 18:14:23 depends on what image processing you want to do Aug 29 18:14:39 there are more things on the BBB then the A8 Aug 29 18:14:55 ds2, You mean using the PRU?? Aug 29 18:15:32 Ah I am not sure how anything else could help in processing ds2 Aug 29 18:15:53 chanakya_vc: you got a mini super computer on there called the SGX Aug 29 18:16:13 :) Aug 29 18:16:17 the PRU can do limited processing but it is more data xfer centric Aug 29 18:18:02 even if you are doing pure A8... IIRC - you can getnear broadcast TV video rates (20-30fps) of face detection Aug 29 18:18:41 my memory is fuzzy though... recursed too many layers down since I did stuff in that area :( Aug 29 18:20:08 I was working on a simple object identification through edge detection for starters ds2. Open cv took a lot of time to compile. It is not as fast I had hoped it to be. Aug 29 18:20:22 for detection. Aug 29 18:20:41 chanakya_vc: not a fan of OpenCV so can't comment on that Aug 29 18:21:05 Like I could have a Red led turn on when I put a circle infront of it and blue for a rectangular object. Aug 29 18:21:15 What else would you recommend ds2? Aug 29 18:21:24 bradfa, m_w ^^ Aug 29 18:22:20 Like I am at a total loss as to how do these labs such as CMU -Robotics Institute, make such cool robots. Aug 29 18:22:23 chanakya_vc: take a look at libccv.org... much much less painful to compile/integrate Aug 29 18:22:32 Okay Aug 29 18:23:49 Thanks ds2...will definitely look at this : ) Aug 29 18:24:49 chanakya_vc: now if you could port parts of it to OpenGL ES 2... ;) Aug 29 18:28:14 lol ds2 : ) I would have to search on that. Aug 29 18:29:37 it is just the core stuff that needs it (for acceleration)...there might be work done for CUDA already Aug 29 18:30:03 I am just not an alg person, otherwise, I'd tackle it Aug 29 18:35:01 Ohh ds2, I would also need to brush up on my algorithms skills though :P Aug 29 18:35:16 ah Aug 29 18:35:49 chanakya_vc: I got as far as having a skeleton OpenGLES2 program submitting and receiving data to/from the SGX Aug 29 18:37:25 RPi is supposedly supported, doesn't that mean OpenGLES2 support, ds2? Aug 29 18:37:52 Wormo: IIRC - that is based on the "opened" OpenGL specs not a pure GLES implementation Aug 29 18:39:37 open EGL? Aug 29 18:40:03 yes... broadcom actually opened part of their 3D accel! Aug 29 18:40:25 hmm!! I didn't realize that Aug 29 18:42:12 Wormo: http://www.broadcom.com/docs/support/videocore/VideoCoreIV-AG100-R.pdf Aug 29 18:42:17 I think that's the right do Aug 29 18:42:37 thanks Aug 29 18:43:23 wow actual instruction level stuff Aug 29 18:43:35 now if only SGX had that..... Aug 29 18:43:37 ;) Aug 29 18:47:35 at one point I would have said broadcom wouldn't release a doc like that to the public, so who knows Aug 29 18:57:52 when are the results? Aug 29 18:57:57 Worm; ds2? Aug 29 18:58:05 *Wormo Aug 29 19:00:00 today or tomorrow? The mentor deadline is today Aug 29 19:02:18 Tomorrow 12:30 AM IST (1900 UTC) kiran4399 Wormo Aug 29 19:02:56 Oh... Aug 29 19:03:19 Wormo: did anyone fail? :| Aug 29 19:05:31 but in the website.. it was showing results announced.. Aug 29 19:06:50 Did anyone get any mail from google? Aug 29 19:11:00 kiran4399, The site seems to have hanged Aug 29 19:11:08 You are right Aug 29 19:11:28 chanakya_vc: did you get your result? Aug 29 19:12:21 Naah kiran4399 Aug 29 19:12:34 It still says that mentor evaluation still remains Aug 29 19:14:24 Weird stuff happening on the gsoc site Aug 30 01:01:56 kiran4399: ? Aug 30 01:02:05 passed ! Aug 30 01:02:08 finally ! Aug 30 01:02:46 m_w: ds2 ^ Thanks ! **** ENDING LOGGING AT Tue Aug 30 02:59:58 2016
