Covariance Feature And OpenCV on 64 bit Mac OS X
MENTOR: Mark Asbach There are 2 projects here: Project 1 aims to implement a new and powerful feature; project 2 aims at making OpenCV work well on 64 bit Mac OS X.
- You must know C++ well.
- For implementing the feature, you must have experience with computer vision and visual features.
- For working on the Mac, you must have experience with Mac OS X and have access to a 64 bit Mac.
PROJECT: Region Covariance Features
Project Description
Implement Region Covariance Features, use them in an object recognition framework.
Demo: Show region covariance features working in object recognition

Read: Region Covariance: A Fast Descriptor for Detection and Classification
- Implement region covariance features
- Test it in object recognition.
PROJECT: OpenCV on 64 bit Mac OS X
Project Description
We want OpenCV to work well and fully utilize 64 bit Mac OS X.
Demo: Use HighGUI to display the fast and slow version of the algorithm with speed up numbers.
Short term:
Medium goal:
Long goal:
Milestones/Timeline
What we want
- QTKit.framework code to have video capture on Mac OS X 64bit
- 64bit compatibility for Carbon windowing code
These are big topics for OpenCV as they block usage within 64bit Mac OS X usage environments. Also, updating the code to newer APIs will make HighGUI more iPhone friendly.
