best bang/buck hardware for developing/running computer vision (opencv) applications


Recommended Posts

hi all, i have been developing open source computer vision applications in java and some of the central frameworks were handled by the old qpple quicktime library. because of this i have been mainly stuck with using java 1.6 in 32 bit mode, and there was little incentive to go for modern and speedy hardware to replace my fairly old mac powerbook. in my libraries i have finally managed to shed all reliance on that deprecated and outdated framework and i have replaced it with opencv with java bindings. this combination really rocks and now i am itching to see how far i can push performance. i use elphel 353 open source cameras and am hoping to get close to 60fps in hd mode with synchronous access. my current limits are imposed by the speed of the processing/graphics card and i am hoping to get suggestions on what type of hardware i can get the most performance from. i am happy to continue my transition towards unix/linux if that is where the performance is, i am not likely to go in the direction of windows. main use is with opencv, CUDA for putting bitmapped operations to the graphics card, and java 1.8/eclipse. thanks for any suggestions,

    • Good effort, but unfortunately not very useful in the real world, since it doesn't support UEFI - which is a major drawback. More than that, most PCs these days have Secure Boot enabled by default, so unless you're tech savvy, the average joe is not going to disable Secure Boot - which means automated Windows > Linux migration programs like this will not work. And if you're tech savvy enough to know how to disable Secure Boot, then you're tech savvy enough to just flash a USB drive and install Linux the usual way - after all, the actual installation process is just point-and-click. So I don't see a use case here to be honest, especially considering the lack of UEFI support - especially when you consider that more and more Linux distros are completely dropping BIOS support (eg Fedora dropped it back in 2022). So this program is a bit too late to the party.
    • I agree with open rights group that the age check companies should be regulated but action does need to be taken imo, they may be called irresponsible parents but the fact is that many don't know how to set up blocks. Why should kids suffer because their parents don't know something? I think the UK has always been a bit like this. We don't say healthcare is your responsibility, we tax everyone and make people register with the NHS. We also don't expect everyone to brush their teeth to maintain dental health, we just put fluoride in their water assuming people aren't brushing enough, because some probably aren't or aren't doing it properly. In general, this way of doing things works.
