CoTracker
CoTracker is a model for tracking any point (pixel) on a video
CoTracker is a learning-based point tracking system that jointly follows many user-specified points across a video, rather than tracking each point independently. By reasoning about all tracks together, it can maintain temporal consistency, handle mutual occlusions, and reduce identity swaps when trajectories cross. The model takes sparse point queries on one frame and predicts their sub-pixel locations and a visibility score for every subsequent frame, producing long, coherent trajectories. Its transformer-style architecture aggregates information both along time and across points, allowing it to recover tracks even after brief disappearances. The repository ships with inference scripts, pretrained weights, and simple interfaces to seed points, run tracking, and export trajectories for downstream tasks. Typical uses include correspondence building, motion analysis, dynamic SLAM priors, video editing masks, and evaluation of geometric consistency in real scenes. -

SAHI
A lightweight vision library for performing large object detection
A lightweight vision library for performing large-scale object detection & instance segmentation. Object detection and instance segmentation are by far the most important fields of applications in Computer Vision. However, detection of small objects and inference on large images are still major issues in practical usage. Here comes the SAHI to help developers overcome these real-world problems with many vision utilities. Detection of small objects and objects far away in the scene is a major challenge in surveillance applications. Such objects are represented by small number of pixels in the image and lack sufficient details, making them difficult to detect using conventional detectors. In this work, an open-source framework called Slicing Aided Hyper Inference (SAHI) is proposed that provides a generic slicing aided inference and fine-tuning pipeline for small object detection. -

Machine Learning PyTorch Scikit-Learn
Code Repository for Machine Learning with PyTorch and Scikit-Learn
Initially, this project started as the 4th edition of Python Machine Learning. However, after putting so much passion and hard work into the changes and new topics, we thought it deserved a new title. So, what’s new? There are many contents and additions, including the switch from TensorFlow to PyTorch, new chapters on graph neural networks and transformers, a new section on gradient boosting, and many more that I will detail in a separate blog post. For those who are interested in knowing what this book covers in general, I’d describe it as a comprehensive resource on the fundamental concepts of machine learning and deep learning. The first half of the book introduces readers to machine learning using scikit-learn, the defacto approach for working with tabular datasets. Then, the second half of this book focuses on deep learning, including applications to natural language processing and computer vision. -

PIFuHD
High-Resolution 3D Human Digitization from A Single Image
PIFuHD (Pixel-Aligned Implicit Function for 3D human reconstruction at high resolution) is a method and codebase to reconstruct high-fidelity 3D human meshes from a single image. It extends prior PIFu work by increasing resolution and detail, enabling fine geometry in cloth folds, hair, and subtle surface features. The method operates by learning an implicit occupancy / surface function conditioned on the image and camera projection; at inference time it queries dense points to reconstruct a mesh via marching cubes. It also uses a two-stage architecture: a coarse global model followed by local refinement patches to capture fine detail, balancing global consistency and local detail. The repo includes training pipelines, dataset loaders (for Multi-POP, etc.), and inference scripts for mesh output including depth maps for postprocessing. To help practical use, there are utilities for normal estimation, texture back-projection, mesh cleanup, and integration with rendering pipelines. -

Download high-resolution PDFs and split pages into images. Manually lay a grid on top of each page to generate bounding boxes for characters (potentially replaceable by an automatic corner-detection algorithm). Generate a low-poly mask for each character on the grid, and save the thumbnails (using OpenCV). First, red channel is subtracted from the grayscale, in order to clean the annotations printed in red ink. Next, the image is thresholded and fed into the contour-tracing algorithm. A metric is then used to discard shapes that are unlikely to be part of the character in interest. -

VGGT
[CVPR 2025 Best Paper Award] VGGT
VGGT is a transformer-based framework aimed at unifying classic visual geometry tasks—such as depth estimation, camera pose recovery, point tracking, and correspondence—under a single model. Rather than training separate networks per task, it shares an encoder and leverages geometric heads/decoders to infer structure and motion from images or short clips. The design emphasizes consistent geometric reasoning: outputs from one head (e.g., correspondences or tracks) reinforce others (e.g., pose or depth), making the system more robust to challenging viewpoints and textures. The repo provides inference pipelines to estimate geometry from monocular inputs, stereo pairs, or brief sequences, together with evaluation harnesses for common geometry benchmarks. Training utilities highlight data curation and augmentations that preserve geometric cues while improving generalization across scenes and cameras. -

ChainerCV
ChainerCV: a Library for Deep Learning in Computer Vision
ChainerCV is a collection of tools to train and run neural networks for computer vision tasks using Chainer. In ChainerCV, we define the object detection task as a problem of, given an image, bounding box-based localization and categorization of objects. Bounding boxes in an image are represented as a two-dimensional array of shape (R,4), where R is the number of bounding boxes and the second axis corresponds to the coordinates of bounding boxes. ChainerCV supports dataset loaders, which can be used to easily index examples with list-like interfaces. Dataset classes whose names end with BboxDataset contain annotations of where objects locate in an image and which categories they are assigned to. These datasets can be indexed to return a tuple of an image, bounding boxes and labels. ChainerCV provides several network implementations that carry out object detection. -

Colossal-AI
Making large AI models cheaper, faster and more accessible
The Transformer architecture has improved the performance of deep learning models in domains such as Computer Vision and Natural Language Processing. Together with better performance come larger model sizes. This imposes challenges to the memory wall of the current accelerator hardware such as GPU. It is never ideal to train large models such as Vision Transformer, BERT, and GPT on a single GPU or a single machine. There is an urgent demand to train models in a distributed environment. However, distributed training, especially model parallelism, often requires domain expertise in computer systems and architecture. It remains a challenge for AI researchers to implement complex distributed training solutions for their models. Colossal-AI provides a collection of parallel components for you. We aim to support you to write your distributed deep learning models just like how you write your model on your laptop. -

Face Mask Detection
Face Mask Detection system based on computer vision and deep learning
Face Mask Detection system based on computer vision and deep learning using OpenCV and Tensorflow/Keras. Face Mask Detection System built with OpenCV, Keras/TensorFlow using Deep Learning and Computer Vision concepts in order to detect face masks in static images as well as in real-time video streams. Amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, there are no efficient face mask detection applications which are now in high demand for transportation means, densely populated areas, residential districts, large-scale manufacturers and other enterprises to ensure safety. The absence of large datasets of ‘with_mask’ images has made this task cumbersome and challenging. Our face mask detector doesn't use any morphed masked images dataset and the model is accurate. Owing to the use of MobileNetV2 architecture, it is computationally efficient, thus making it easier to deploy the model to embedded systems (Raspberry Pi, Google Coral, etc.).
