SURF library for Adobe Flash Platform

by Härtel, Torsten 4 March 2010 in Just Interesting

Eugene Zatepyakin recently finished his SURF Library for the Adobe Flash Platform and we really can't wait to play with it.

SURF (Speeded Up Robust Features) is a robust image detector and descriptor, first presented by Herbert Bay et al. in 2006, that can be used in computer vision tasks like object recognition or 3D reconstruction.

The algorithm is based on sums of approximated 2D Haar wavelet responses and makes an efficient use of integral images. As basic image features it uses a Haar wavelet approximation of the determinant of Hessian blob detector.

Well, this sounds really nerdy, but have a look at the following examples to get an idea what's going on!

Example: Multiple references

Example: Hide & Seek

Example: Casino

Well done Eugene.

Meyer, Miller, Smith.

Head. Hands. Heart. We believe that there is a real connection between craftsmanship and communication. Working together as a group of skilled craftsmen we fuse contemporary design (Meyer) and the art of storytelling (Miller) with cutting edge technology (Smith), relentlessly pushing into new territory by creating pioneering work.

As information and intelligence becomes the domain of computers, society will place more value on the one human ability that cannot be automated: Emotions.

People want to experience beauty, enjoy one’s work, feel passion, they want to interact with each other. We all want.

That’s why we believe that the future of brands is interaction, not commodity. It’s not something you buy, but something you participate in.
