This is a collection of interesting I found on the internet that I found interesting. Hope you enjoy it.

For my senior design project I am thinking about creating some sort of monitoring system. I am hoping it can output an augmented display of the images the system sees after some processing. To get my feet wet with this project I began researching the sobel edge detection algorithm which essentially calculates the differences in pixel intensity in an image to detect all the edges in a picture.

I am particularly interested in creating a traffic monitoring system that can track each individual object using some sort of augmented display. I found an interesting article which discusses an inutitive understanding of convolutions for Deep Learning, which may be helpful for my project. Click below to check it out:

I am interested in pursuing a Masters in Computer Engineering with an emphasis or concentration in Data Analysis. I've been interested in web scrapping for quite some time but never got around to dabble with it. This passed weekend I was able to control chrome by using selenium's webdriver to scrap data off stats.nba.com.

The purpose of the project was to manipulate the data in a meaningful way by using storing the statistic data into a pandas dataframe object and plot individual stats by using matplotlib. The data was then saved to an SQL database and serialized. For more information on how to scrape data from the NBA website click here.
