Hidden In Plain Site

Impressed with my nieces dance and martial arts abilities, I was inspired to work with her to create this short video to showcase the Filipino culture. I filmed, edited, and creative directed the video.

“The Filipino martial arts and entry points are usually hidden in dances to mimic weapon movements. For example in fan dances, the fluid motions are similar to blade movements. The blades and fan never stop moving. The martial art I learn Is kali. It is meant to be used with blades, but you can use it with no weapons. In lieu of blades, I practice with sticks so I do not hurt myself. The art also focuses on multiple opponents, not just the one person you are fighting.” @kalikalimonster

Computer Vision + Image Segmentation

in ,

One of the last projects I worked on before leaving Qualcomm was using computer vision for image segmentation. One thing I learned is the power of combining technologies like Computer Vision and AI to segment products for novel experiences.

This is a concept for using computer vision and ai for image segmentation. If a user is selling goods and wanting to add interactivity to better communicate with their followers, this technology can improve the over all user experience. The photo of the goods is automatically segmented and made interactive. Users can click on a particular good and get the pricing and filtering the comments that relate to that product.
