Objects localized with labeled bounding boxes by Grounding DINOIntermediate · 9 min read

What is Grounding DINO?

Learn how Grounding DINO finds objects described at inference time. Follow image and text features through fusion, query selection, and box decoding, then see where open-vocabulary detection fits in a robot pipeline.

Objects detected and localized in a warehouse image using QwenIntermediate · 8 min read

What is Qwen?

See how Qwen-VL turns image patches and a prompt into language and object locations. Learn what the position-aware adapter does, why grounding is generated token by token, and when a general vision-language model is useful in robotics.

Contours detected around metal parts in a high-contrast imageBasic · 8 min read

What is Contour Detection?

Learn how a binary mask becomes an ordered outline with outer borders, holes, and hierarchy. Then use contour approximation and geometry to measure parts, inspect defects, and connect image pixels to robot coordinates.

Warehouse objects detected with RF-DETR through RetinaIntermediate · 8 min read

What is RF-DETR?

Follow image features and learned object queries through RF-DETR. See how one-to-one matching produces a prediction set and how architecture search finds useful accuracy–latency choices for real robot hardware.

Warehouse objects detected with YOLOX through RetinaIntermediate · 10 min read

What is YOLOX?

Follow a camera image through YOLOX from multi-scale features to final boxes. Learn why it predicts without anchors, separates class and box branches, assigns training examples with SimOTA, and removes duplicates with NMS.

Circular metal gears detected with the classic Hough transformBasic · 7 min read

What is the Classic Hough Transform?

See how Canny edge pixels vote for possible circle centres and radii, why agreement creates peaks in an accumulator, and when this explainable geometric method is better than a learned detector for robot inspection.
