The solution of the Eikonal equation is solved by advancing a front in the normal direction, similar to a grass fire. The most famous Hamilton-Jacobi equation. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eikonal_e… en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fast_marc…

I get by with a little help from my friends...

NN-SVG is a tool for creating Neural Network architecture drawings parametrically rather than manually! It also provides the ability to export those drawings to Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) files, suitable for inclusion in academic papers or web pages github.com/alexlenail/NN-…

Glad to be on the picket line today with MUNFA in support of a #FairDealAtMUN #nlpoli ✊

Had a great day on the picket line today, though I feel sorry for the folks who were there this afternoon. Delegates from CUPE1615, AASUA, StFXAUT, and Dalhousie Faculty Association stopped by our picket today to show support. #FairDealatMUN

One of my new year resolution was to explore and learn more about #swarmrobotics, interact with experts and guide and inspire others to learn more about this area of collective robotics. pratik-ingle.github.io/awesome_Collec…

✨ Presenting MicKey (#CVPR2024, Oral) ✨ We regress and match 3D camera coordinates rather then 2D key points, all in metric space. Gives you a scaled relative pose between two RGB images. Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2404.06337 Page: nianticlabs.github.io/mickey

Amazing news!! Thanks so much to Jonas Kuckling and the whole team (particularly Heiko Hamann) for bringing me in as a co-author
