OpenCV
The
Open Computer Vision Library
is a great tool for image processing and manipulation. Its Viola-Jones style face detector
is used in the Emotional Robotics project.
OGRE
OGRE is an open source 3D graphics engine that is used
in conjunction with OpenCV and MARSYAS in order to simulate the Danny the robot in the
Emotional Robotics project.
MARSYAS
MARSYAS is an open source music analysis library
that has good sound processing features. The framework in addition to a small modification
of the pitch extraction code is used as the pitch detector for the Emotional Robotics project.
VisAD
VisAD is used in the Emotional
Tutor project to visualize the incoming sensor data similar to an EKG display. 20 seconds
of sensor values are shown at a time, with each sensor displaying a different color. This
is currently working with a mouse with six or eight pressure sensors, a chair with 6 pressure sensors,
and a skin conductance wrist sensor.
LaTeX
latexExample.pdf is a pdf with
some examples of commands and packages that I commonly use. The bottom of
the file is 'verbatim' of the tex file above.
temp.jpg
and
temp.pdf are the files used for the
image. If you would like to reproduce the top portion of the example, you
can copy out the text below the line "Now here is the above file:", and
paste it into a file called example.tex, and then you can run:
%pdflatex example.tex
and you should get a file example.pdf that looks exactly like the the top
of the latexExample.pdf
