Healthcare analytics at NIT Calicut for TARANG2018 (Pictures inside)

MieRobot was invited for TARANG 2018, which is the annual management fest for National Institute of Technology, SOMS Calicut. It was a fun-filled day along with a workshop from MieRobot on 'Healthcare analytics' under Pythoncognoscens. The event was attended from eminent B Schools and engineering colleges. In the analytics workshop, we discussed various healthcare models related to finance and reimbursements from the USA healthcare industry. As part of the Python handson, we

Code a Google TensorFlow Artificial Neural Network in 10 minutes with this blog

This blog will teach you to get moving and create your first neural network in 10 minutes. We will use the Google Open source TensorFlow for

'Knock knock'! 'Who is there'? 'Great free Python courses for you'

We bring top Python free courses that you can do at your own pace.

Easy Linear Regression for anyone in 10 steps

Linear regression is the first machine learning algorithm which we will blog along with Python code today. What we plan to achieve in this blog? We will use the Scikit learn package to train the algorithm over a dataset which we have provided from MieRobot advert set. We would also see if there is a linear relation between 'Hits/Likes' to the multivariate variables of per day cost of the advert in facebook, google and twitter. This is a dummy dataset which we have neutralised

Stop thinking and use Anaconda for all Learnings

We all love having all things in the same place bundled. We love it so much that almost all retail industries have something which is delivered as a bundle. Take mobile plans for an example - you have SMS, data and call time bundled. Programming is no different. Python can be installed as a silo and then packages can be imported as we wrote in one of our earlier blogs - Top 5 Python packages every college student should know This blog takes a level further and will introduce

Running a retro Mario game using Python Pygame

It is not a secret that we love Python so much. We simply can not stop loving it. We had earlier blogged on Python here and the top machine learning python packages here. Have a look at them if you are interested in Python. Today we will do some retro games in simple steps to play an Old school Mario game. The secret sauce to this is a Python package called as Pygame. The package is really cool and offers free tutorials as well. To get started you simply have to pip as : sudo

Top python packages for graduates

In case you are new to our blogs or fresh in computer vision then we strongly recommend you to read our earlier blogs that we have earlier published related to computer vision. Robotic vision Vs Computer vision In this blog, we will reveal you the top Python packages that you may use for robotic vision and computer vision. NumPy We love NumPy for various reasons. It is one of the most popular used libraries that you will find references on the internet and it is also very go

Robot detects circles - HoughCircles using Python in OpenCV

In our previous blog, we talked about contours in OpenCV. In this blog, we take this thread of computer vision forward and try to identify a circle in a binary image. We need robots to identify circles as it's a very basic shape found in our surroundings. Fortunately, we don't need to start from scratch here as OpenCV provides built-in function for using the Hough Circles algorithm using HoughCircles() function as below - Python: cv2.HoughCircles(image, method, dp, minDist[,

OpenCV2 Contour sample code - findContours() and drawContours()

Read time : 3 minutes , complexity : intermediate We continue from our previous blog on contours and try to run the basic contour functions on a Python code. This program comes with the sample bundle and takes input a binary image which has a sketch of multiple faces and hence contours. The image of the right is the input image and what your robot would see after contour processing is at left. As you have noticed that it can detect the curves in contours and then draw up the

K nearest algorithm - KNN in robotics using Python

Average reading time: 4 minutes, level: Advanced In this blog, we will continue to talk about computer vision in robotics and introduce a simple classification algorithm using supervised learning called as K-nearest neighbours or KNN algorithm. Supervised learning in robotics makes the robot take a reference to training data provided to label the outcome. The training data consist of a set of training examples. In supervised learning, each example is a pair consisting of an i
