On Saturday, January 11th, we hosted our first workshop of 2025: the Computer Vision Workshop at Logan Heights Library! The participants began by discovering how computer are able to see, the origins of computer vision, and the presence and applications of computer vision in everyday life.
Next, they learned about Dr. Fei-Fei Li, a computer scientist, writer, professor, and woman in STEM, as well as her contributions to advancing computer vision through her dataset. Also, participants worked on edge detection through coloring number grids and evaluating numerical differences between neighboring pixel values. Then, participants investigated the similarities and differences between human and computer vision and thinking. The girls were introduced to machine learning and its components: decision-making, self-adjustments, and teamwork. To practice one method of computer learning, they explored convolution layers by multiplying inputs and kernels to create feature maps. The participants further investigated the topic as they played Rock, Paper, Scissors by training computers to identify their hands in the form of rock, paper, and scissors. Through this experiment, they noticed the machine’s calculations and accuracy. The participants also learned of the challenges and benefits of computer vision today, and in the near future. Lastly, the girls tested out a finished machine-learning, drawing project. The Computer Vision Workshop was informative and super fun! We can’t wait to see you at our Anatomy Workshop on February 1st!
