Location: Wilsonville, Oregon Remote:Yes Willing to relocate:Only if work is at least 50 % Image Processing, Medical Imaging and/or Deep Learning NO Gen AI Technologies:DICOM, OpenCV, CUDA, C, C++, C# Python, NO Web APPS Résumé/CV:www.linkedin.com/in/microimaging Email:steven5CLU884@gmail.com

Expert software engineer with experience programming multi-threaded Windows XP/XPe/Windows 7,8,10,11 and Linux applications. I have used WPF/WCF/C#/C++/CLI .Net 3.x, 4.x,5.x, Win32 API, MFC, ADO, CUDA, OpenGL, DirectX, wxWindows and Linux. I am familiar with most of the Microsoft Foundation Classes associated with Visual C++ version 2008,2010,2017 , and STL and BOOST. Proficient or expert utilizing image processing algorithms, including kernel convolutions, the use of LUTs, JPEG 2000, OpenCV, 3D transformations, SIFT, SURF and other feature transforms. That coupled with my knowledge of real time video capture should make it very easy to quickly accomplish any task you wish of me. I have written and maintained several user level applications to provide complex information in an understandable and efficient fashion, along with necessary documentation on the operation, and limitations of the application. I am very conversant with several different database engines including Firebird/Interbase, and sqLite. I have utilized multi-processes Python for the last 12 years for scripting, OpenCV work, as well as creating cross platform GUI’s. Ever since Tensorflow nd pyTorch were open sourced, I have implemented from articles facial recognition, style transfer, inpainting, and denoising using convolutional neural networks I have 2 years of experience with QT 4 & 5

A Vibe coder will not need to know a large number of algorithms, while a SWE needs to vchoose algorithms before he/she starts coding

On Github there is an exe which I ASSUME is an runable sites are in some type of langusage I can not understand so I have no idea what I would be buyingtargeted On Github there is an exe from I ASSUME pyinstaller, but there is no indication which OS is targeted. SINCE NO SOURCE IS PROVIDED THERE IS NO WAY TO DETERMINE IF THE EXEE IS SAFE OR NOT GOOD Bye Best of luck in your battle against Jet Brains PyCharm

A simple search of arxiv using the search terms time series anomaly detection http [rovides 64 results like https://arxiv.org/abs/2503.18385 That provudes source I am sure papers with code wouls also provide similar resu;ts In the words of G.I. Joe "Knowing is half the battle"

New comment by wizzerking in "Ask HN: Should all software engineers be periodically tested on linear algebra?"

wizzerking — Thu, 19 Dec 2024 21:17:47 +0000

As with most testing linear algebra is not a must have for all software engineers. For instance for an SQL practitioner their efforts would be more readily be considered set theory? Question. Another instance to think about Embedded software engineers ?? Is there any use in PWM Motor control for linear algebra ?? Sure come control problems lead to linear algebra, but I use mostly transforms not linear algebra. Any simulation, image processing, math optimization sure linear algebra is king

wizzerking — Mon, 26 Aug 2024 02:19:14 +0000

what you want is a video summarization net possibly followed by an LLM PaperswithCode or arxiv to the resue just search for pages with open source code or got directly to github. Like deepshaswat says inference requires no specialized hardware, but training can be a problem unless you have a PCIE 4 mainboard with an RTX 4090 with 20 GB of RAM I bought this system with core i9 and 64 Gig Mainboard RAM for 5K 3 years ago, you may be able to only pay 2-3K nowadays. Better performance with Radeon and Threadripper is probable from the stats I see on Tom's and overclockers Good Luck

I put into google the search cmake link.txt and got a page full of results, some stackoverflow as expected. Some nonse like questions you asked, and some garbage as usual with google trying to make ads "relevant" to my search
