Computer Vision in Developing Countries computer vision1

Computer vision in developing regions has been experiencing fast growth, especially in the automotive, pharmaceutical, packaging, and electronic industries. Although high quality research is carried out in many educational institutions and industry laboratories in developing regions, the visibility of these efforts within the international community is rather low.

The projects going on in developing regions, however, can bring new perspectives to the international research community, because the constraints and conditions of research projects on developing regions are frequently different from what researchers in developed regions typically encounter. On the other side, computer vision has many applications in developing regions that can have an important impact on development, e.g. manufacturing, education, medicine, natural interaction with computers, and many others.

What’s Your Work Worth?

What’s Your Work Worth? work worth

Here comes the magical day: payday. We often quite eagerly rip open our paycheck and scan it to find what we got for what we did. And it is quite often the case that upon seeing the amount we went disappointed that the number hasn’t magically increased since two weeks ago?

It really doesn’t matter whether you’re still in school or in corporate world, knowing your financial worth is vital. Your skills, experience and educational background not only make-up who you are, they also determine how much money you’re able to earn. These are certain principles that many of us know and implement, but sometimes we get away from the situations that help us accomplish more! Like Tiger Woods, we sometimes need a coach to help looking from the outside in, to help us achieve greatness.

Who Owns the Copyright? copyright

If we own a copy of work then it simply doesn’t mean that one owns copyright in that work. The Copyright Act does provide copyright protection to authors but it does not define this term. The word ‘author’ from the perspective of copyright has evolved to essentially become synonymous with creator. A creator includes someone who writes a book, magazine or newspaper article, play, poem, or computer program. It is therefore mandatory that only the creator can subsequently sell, license, assign, or give away copyright and this must be done by written agreement. Hence, when some one want to use or to reproduce a portion of a work and needs permission of the copyright owner to do so, then it must be make sure first that who owns the copyright because the creator of the work may have given his rights provided by copyright law to another party.

Public Libraries and Internet

Public Libraries and Internet public libraries

The fact about Public libraries is that they cannot lose their hold as community centers for discourse and exploration. It is better to take a stance against government regulations of Internet use rather than placing unnecessary restrictions on user’s ability to research, maintaining that individuals have the freedom to seek and digest information. Day by day, better methods of dealing with Internet use issues are developing, implementing, and publicizing an Internet use policy with specific repercussions for misuse, situating Internet computers such that they can be easily monitored by staff, and using privacy screens or recessed monitors if necessary to ensure the privacy of individual users.
