Vision-Based Rep Counting in the Wild | by Aakash Agrawal | Feb, 2023

A review of different approaches to vision-based rep countingsrc: photo by @pooya_ramezani, illustrating a repetitive pattern.In this article, I try to explain my exploration of different vision-based repetition counting techniques and discuss their pros and cons. Specifically, I highlight five major ways in which computer vision has been employed for rep counting.Wearable sensors have been quite popular for reps and set counting. Owing to the fact that these sensors are expensive and, in most cases, are only limited to…

Building an Exercise Rep Counter Using Ideas from Signal Processing | by Aakash Agrawal | Jan, 2023

Designing a class-specific rep counter using a zero-crossing approachphoto by Karsten Winegeart on Unsplash.comIn this blog post, I discuss a very new and unique approach for building a real-time exercise rep counter, one that employs signal processing ideas on top of pose estimation. This approach can be easily adapted to build rep-counters for other classes.From engaging fitness-related activities by counting the number of times a particular movement was done to measuring biological events (such as heartbeat and pulse…

Stable diffusion using Hugging Face — DiffEdit paper implementation | by Aayush Agrawal | Nov, 2022

In simple terms, you can think of DiffEdit approach as a more controlled version of the Image to Image pipeline. DiffEdit takes three inputs-1. An input image2. Caption - Describing the input image3. Target Query - Describe the new image you want to generateand produce a modified version of the original image based on the query text. This process is particularly good if you want to make a slight tweak to the actual image without completely modifying it.Fig. 1: Overview of Diff Edit.As we can see from the image above only…

Gambler’s Ruin Problem: A Probability Antiquity | by Naman Agrawal | Nov, 2022

Understanding one of the most famous problems in probability theoryPlaying Card and Poker Chips and Dices, Image by PixabayGambler’s ruin is one of the most essential concepts in Probability theory. Its first mention dates back to the 17th century in a letter exchange between Blaise Pascal and Pierre Fermat. The problem involves determining the probability that a gambler wins under the following conditions:They both start off with a fixed amount of money.The probability of either one of them winning is constant throughout…

Stable diffusion using Hugging Face — Variations of Stable Diffusion | by Aayush Agrawal | Nov, 2022

This is continuation of my previous post — Stable diffusion using Hugging Face | by Aayush Agrawal | Nov, 2022 | Towards Data Science (medium.com).In previous post, I went over all the key components of Stable Diffusion and how to get a prompt to image pipeline working. In this post, I will show how to edit the prompt to image function to add additional functionality to our Stable diffusion pipeline i.e., Negative prompting and Image to Image pipeline. Hopefully, this will provide enough motivation to play around with…

Stable diffusion using Hugging Face | by Aayush Agrawal | Nov, 2022

A comprehensive introduction to the world of Stable diffusion using hugging face — Diffusers library for creating AI-generated images using textual promptYou may have seen an uptick in AI-generated images, that’s because of the rise of latent diffusion models. Stable diffusion simply put is a deep learning model which can generate an image given a textual prompt.Fig. 1: Stable diffusion overviewAs we can see from the image above we can pass a textual prompt like “A dog wearing a hat” and a stable diffusion model can…
