Cascade Filter Overview
• Not a Neural Net (NNets are too slow)
• OpenCV -> Haar Cascades are much more efficient
• Scans for areas that match certain patterns.

Problems with Simple Cylon
• OpenCV/Haar Cascades inconsistently boxes face
• (Eigenfaces requires images be centered and same size as training)
• Adds face every time angle changes (ideally we want multiple
combinations assosciated with each person)
• Will insert “bad” faces, and “not” faces.
• To much ”radio chatter” with Kafka (esp with “who else is around”
context clues)

Canopy Clustering
• Create N Second Window
• Cluster Faces in Window
• Quick dirty clustering- but effective.
• First point is “center”
• All points within distance t2 are “in that cluster.
• If a point is not within t2 of any cluster- it becomes a new cluster center.

Canopy Clustering To Remove “Ghost” Faces
t2= max square widthFirst rect – new cluster
Second Rect- within one width of first rect (same cluster)
Third Rect- within one width of first rect (same cluster)
Forth Rect- NOT within one width of first rect (new cluster)
Fifth Rect- within one width of first rect (same cluster)
Finally- any cluster with less than two entities in windows gets filtered out.

Definition of Intelligence
• Merriam Webster:
• a (1) : the ability to learn or understand or to deal with new or trying
situations : reason; also : the skilled use of reason
• (2) : the ability to apply knowledge to manipulate one's environment or to
think abstractly as measured by objective criteria (such as tests)
• Oxford
• The ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills.
• Contested subject among researches…

Artificial Intelligence
• Collect information from environment
• Adapt to changing environment
• Learn and understand / gain knowledge / improve skills
