Dec 31th


Place - Bangalore

I have taken step to learn Concrete mathematics and found resources.

Apart from the above mentioned site http://www.cs.sunysb.edu/~skiena/teaching/ talks about algorithms, combinatorics etc (Still not seen those videos myself).

Started to learn Flow algorithms . I was trying to understand how it actually works got a nice video lecture from IIT Madras he talk about advanced research problems.

Was trying to figure out ways to convert top-down approach to bottom-up approach.
Interesting fact that I came to know is

  1. Base case of top-down approach is the base value for the bottom-up approach.
  2. Recursion is easy to be converted to iterative if it's a tail recursion.
  3. understanding iterative and order of loop requires more research.

Tomorrow need to spend time on the project - Finding ways to track efficiently.

  1. Need to think whether I can continue with my old program.
  2. Choosing between segmentation and tracking.
  3. Or initially tracking the image and then find out what the action it corresponds to.

Day Dec 29th



Place - Bangalore

Past - I attended ICPC contest held at Kanpur and Amritapuri. I wasn well prepared. But understood that still long way to go. I started to like mathematics after starting competitive programming. After the contest I attended a camp conducted by harsha (Red coder in topcoder ~ humblefool). Camp was really good. More than the concepts I learned to multitask things and give importance according to priority.

N today Dec 29th camp ended. Camp (Dynamic Programming , Greedy , Graph, Flows ).
I learned Dp quite well need to put some practice and I ll get more comfortable with it. Today I am starting my project.

Things I did today
Integrated OpenCV with eclipse.
Finding a better segmentation code.
Learnt what is configure file , then makefile and make in linux. How compiler connect all the segments and is able to produce the output.Need to write it down somewhere (Bad memory).

Tomorrow proposed plan.
Solve problems on dp.
Make some progress in project.
Find a better segmentation code. Or try writing your own code.

Resources to integrate eclipse and OpenCV

Above blogs gives step by step approach to integrate eclipse and OpenCV

Thought for the day.
Starting thinking of people who helped you, N stop being greedy.
