How to Use Computer Vision for Environment Monitoring
SUMMARY
Satellite and drone imagery analyzed by computer vision models can measure environmental change at a scale and frequency that manual scientific monitoring cannot match, turning pixel data into quantifiable ESG metrics like built-up area, deforestation extent, water coverage, and crop health. This guide walks through building a remote

Detect and Segment Oil Spills Using Computer Vision
SUMMARY
Drone footage of an oil spill carries enough information to determine spill volume, thickness, and spatial extent, but only if the imagery is analyzed with a model trained to distinguish those properties. This post walks through building an instance segmentation model that labels oil spill regions by thickness class,

Build a Chess Game Recorder with Computer Vision
SUMMARY
Clio, built by the team at A1H1, is a portable chess recording device that uses computer vision instead of embedded sensors to digitize over-the-board games, bringing the cost well below the roughly $500 USD of sensor-equipped commercial sets. The system handles two distinct problems: detecting the

How to Code Non-Maximum Suppression (NMS) in Plain NumPy
SUMMARY
Double detection, where an object detection model fires multiple overlapping bounding boxes on the same object, is a common issue that breaks downstream analytics like counting and tracking. Non-Maximum Suppression (NMS) resolves this by computing Intersection over Union (IoU) across all predicted boxes and discarding lower-confidence duplicates
