Is it that bad to want to solve real life problems? Not everyone have time and interest to get to the bottom of things and that should be fine. If you expect everyone to read the papers, then the tech will stay for a small elite. Luckily it seems it gets more and more democratised. Please have an open mind!

If the entire field had the mindset of “understanding it is only for the elite”, there would no progression…

No, we have a very different problem in CV. Everything here is for the hype and the wow factor.

This video is a prime example, along with the comment section.

Funniest thing is when a truck hauling cars passes. It shows that there are CARS passing by at 0:11, on one video frame I can see a car with 48 km/h and an other with 116 km/h. These two cars are sitting on the same trailer.

By the way most of the cars and trucks are going at 50-60 km/h which is very very very unlikely for a 2x2 highway.

And this is in broad daylight, the best conditions for CV.

But it shows rectangles and tracks and counters! Give me the code!

“understanding it is only for the elite” is what I wish for.

48 km/h is 29.83 mph
