This week join Jason Ren of Ai2 (Allen Institute for AI) for MolmoMotion: Forecasting Point Trajectories in 3D with Language Instruction, a live look at how open multimodal models move past describing a scene to predicting where things go next. Building on the Molmo family’s pointing and tracking capabilities, MolmoMotion takes a plain-language instruction and…
Global computer vision challenge opens to developers, researchers, and teams worldwide with prizes totaling $10,000 [Palo Alto, CA] — The Open Source Vision Foundation (OpenCV), home to the world’s most widely used open-source computer vision library, today announced the OpenCV AI Competition 2026 in collaboration with Amazon Web Services (AWS). It is the latest in…
Air cargo still runs on estimates — dimensions eyeballed at acceptance, and containers packed by “feel.” Suraj Nair, founder of Singapore-based Speedcargo, joins OpenCV Live to show how 3D computer vision, optimization algorithms, and gantry robotics replace that guesswork with measured cargo data. He’ll cover what it takes to get perception working reliably in a…
One robot is a demo; a hundred robots is an operations problem. Civ Robotics CTO Amit Moran walks through the software practices that keep a distributed rover fleet alive in the field — pinned builds, heartbeats on everything, remote restarts, and the mission data that saves you after the fact. Join our live stream and…
Join us this week for a presentation titled “Building the Next Generation of Synthetic Media,” where CraftStory’s Victor Erukhimov shows us how generative AI is reshaping the way digital humans and video content are created. The talk covers two products built by the team: Avatar SDK, a toolkit for generating photorealistic 3D avatars, and CraftStory,…
Autonomous drones only fly as well as they can figure out where they are. Drop one into a forest, a dense city, or a disaster zone, and that gets a lot harder — the signals they normally lean on just aren’t there. This week we get into HUNT, a navigation approach built for exactly the…
Our guest this week is Alireza Taheritajar, a Ph.D. Student an Augusta University focusing on In-Situ Intelligent Mixed Reality Assistants for Adaptive Human-AI Collaboration. Mixed-reality overlays have been around for awhile, but with the recent upgrades in camera quality, lens resolution, and processing power they are becoming more useful than ever. Join us for a…

Authored by: Abhishek Gola and Gursimar Singh OpenCV 5 is one of the most important releases in the history of OpenCV. For more than two decades, OpenCV has been the foundation for computer vision research, robotics, embedded vision, AI applications, industrial inspection, AR/VR, medical imaging, and countless production systems. Today, the library has more than…
