That said, I already have my covid project. All state of the art optical flow algorithms have problems seeing thin branches. You might have seen videos of Skydio drones crashing into branches, wires, or water. My goal is to fix that.
I started designing a new AI architecture in February and the main detection training finished mid-May. By now, I'm building the post-processing for guessing plausible fillings for occluded areas.
Plus, I'm now working from home, so my basement is already overheating from all those GPUs. I should probably pause AI for a while or I'll have to move the icebox to another floor.
