MolmoMotion: Forecasting Point Trajectories in 3D with Language Instruction
MolmoMotion: Forecasting Point Trajectories in 3D with Language Instruction Aug 21, 2026 01:14:53 Join Jason Ren of Ai2 (Allen Institute for AI) for MolmoMotion: Forecasting Point Trajectories in 3D with Language Instruction, a live look at how open multimodal models move past describing a scene to predicting where things go next. Building on the Molmo family's pointing and tracking capabilities, MolmoMotion takes a plain-language instruction and forecasts point trajectories through 3D space,
Transforming Air Cargo Operations: Optimizing with Vision & Robotics
Transforming Air Cargo Operations: Optimizing with Vision & Robotics Aug 17, 2026 01:37:21 Air cargo still runs on estimates — dimensions eyeballed at acceptance, and containers packed by "feel." Suraj Nair, founder of Singapore-based Speedcargo, joins OpenCV Live to show how 3D computer vision, optimization algorithms, and gantry robotics replace that guesswork with measured cargo data. He'll cover what it takes to get perception working reliably in a live cargo terminal, and where the
A Software Engineer's Guide to Scaling Robotics
A Software Engineer's Guide to Scaling Robotics Aug 12, 2026 01:06:45 One robot is a demo; a hundred robots is an operations problem. Civ Robotics CTO Amit Moran walks through the software practices that keep a distributed rover fleet alive in the field — pinned builds, heartbeats on everything, remote restarts, and the mission data that saves you after the fact. OpenCV is a 501(c)(3) registered non-profit in the United States. See how you can support open source CV
Building the Next Generation of Synthetic Media
Building the Next Generation of Synthetic Media Jul 31, 2026 01:37:39 Join us this week for a presentation titled "Building the Next Generation of Synthetic Media," where Victor Erukhimov shows us how generative AI is reshaping the way digital humans and video content are created. The talk covers two products built by the team: Avatar SDK, a toolkit for generating photorealistic 3D avatars, and CraftStory, their GenAI-driven storytelling product. Viewers will learn
Rethinking Drone Autonomy in GPS-Denied Environments - OpenCV Live 217
Rethinking Drone Autonomy in GPS-Denied Environments - OpenCV Live 217 Jul 16, 2026 01:03:06 Autonomous drones only fly as well as they can figure out where they are. Drop one into a forest, a dense city, or a disaster zone, and that gets a lot harder — the signals they normally lean on just aren't there. This week we get into HUNT, a navigation approach built for exactly the places where the usual answers fall apart.   OpenCV is a 501(c)(3) registered non-profit in the United States. See
Adaptive Human-AI Collaboration with Mixed Reality
Adaptive Human-AI Collaboration with Mixed Reality Jul 9, 2026 01:25:22 Our guest this week is Alireza Taheritajar, a Ph.D. Student an Augusta University focusing on In-Situ Intelligent Mixed Reality Assistants for Adaptive Human-AI Collaboration. Mixed-reality overlays have been around for awhile, but with the recent upgrades in camera quality, lens resolution, and processing power they are becoming more useful than ever. Join us for a look at some very cool research
COOL: The Official Cloud Version of OpenCV

This optimized edition is designed for accelerated computer vision workloads on AWS Graviton and ARM-based environments, helping developers achieve improved efficiency for AI, ML, and image
OpenCV Community Spotlight August 2025
OpenCV Community Spotlight August 2025 Oct 3, 2025 01:08:26 On this week's episode we turn the focus to the worldwide community of creators and hobbyists that make awesome OpenCV stuff. We'll take a look at some recent projects posted to Hackster.io, and have a short presentation from an OpenCV community member about their project. Got a cool project of your own? Send it to us and you may be featured https://www.jotform.com/form/233105358823151 Become a pa
Granite Vision: Lightweight, Enterprise-grade Large Vision-Language Models
Granite Vision: Lightweight, Enterprise-grade Large Vision-Language Models Aug 19, 2025 01:06:52 In this talk, Pengyuan Li will present the team's efforts in building the Granite Vision model—a lightweight, large vision-language model specifically designed to excel in enterprise use cases, particularly in visual document understanding. Compared to other models of similar parameter size, Granite Vision achieves state-of-the-art performance on established benchmarks for visual document understa
Keras 3: Train your JAX models with `model.fit(...)`
Keras 3: Train your JAX models with `model.fit(...)` Aug 6, 2025 01:02:18 We welcome Monica Song (Product Manager, Google AI Frameworks) to the show for a technical talk this week: How to train your JAX models with `model.fit(...)` for use with the latest version of the deep learning framework Keras (3.X). A version of this talk was presented at OpenCV's first conference, OSCCA, earlier this year and we look forward to sharing it with the broader OpenCV community. OpenC
Vision Language Models: Understanding CLIP
Vision Language Models: Understanding CLIP Jul 25, 2025 01:31:55 Vision Language Models are one of the most important concepts for understanding modern AI workflows, and on this episode we'll take a look at Contrastive Language-Image Pre-training (CLIP), released in 2021 by OpenAI. Wikipedia: "CLIP is a technique for training a pair of neural network models, one for image understanding and one for text understanding, using a contrastive objective." It's also a
