Train AIs
Create Faceswaps
FakeApp makes it easy to observe the progress of trained AIs in real time by posting frequent loss values and training previews.

FakeApp reduces the task of converting the face in a video to a single button process by automatically splitting, converting, and stitching video frames.

FakeApp Makes Faceswaps Easy
FakeApp was designed to make the process of creating realistic faceswaps with deep learning as smooth, simple, and quick as possible. It supports all three steps of the basic faceswap workflow—creating datasets, training AI, and converting videos. Here is a brief video tutorial made by a FakeApp user and some screenshots.

Google built a tiny Street View car to map out one of the world's largest model cities




This is just too cool.

The "Miniatur Wunderland" exhibition, located in Hamburg, Germany, is the world's largest model railway.
To bring new perspective to the massive model railway, Google last year built a miniature version of its Street View car to capture footage within the Miniatur Wunderland with an array of tiny mounted cameras. You can actually see all the various worlds within the Miniatur Wunderland on Google Street View.

HD Analog video technology comparison - HD-SDI, AHD, HD-CVI and HD-TVI


HD Analog technology offers a compelling alternative to traditional analog and IP surveillance options. HD Analog video security solutions deliver megapixel resolution video over coaxial cabling (HD over coax), and are far less complex to install and operate compared to IP.

Since its introduction, several HD Analog formats have emerged, including: HD-SDI, AHD, HD-CVI and HD-TVI. While all HD Analog options offer the same basic benefits compared to analog or IP, each format features a unique set of capabilities and compatibilities.

At this time, there is no “standard” format – or established “winner” – in the HD Analog space. But, it is clear that certain formats are better positioned to succeed – offering clear competitive advantages that translate to significant and measurable benefits for the end user.

HD-SDI


HD-SDI is a digital format over coax usually. It's used in professional Television studios and tends to be very expensive.

HD-TVI


HD-TVI stands for High Definition Transport Video Interface.
The TVI standard was developed by a company named Techpoint and released in 2014 and adopted by many manufacturers, most notably Hikvision – Dahua’s primary competitor. Hikvision is the largest manufacturer of HD-TVI in the world. LTS Security is the biggest reseller of their products.

HD-CVI


High Definition Composite Video Interface (HDCVI) was developed by Dahua in 2012 and began to saw wide-release in 2014.

The PTZ cameras of the HDCVI type are capable of achieving that RS485 data connection without the use of an extra cable. It's all done right through the same coax cable that's transmitting video.

HD-CVI technology can at times be found masked by behind other names like HD-AVS or HD-MPX.


HD-AHD

AHD (Analog High Definition) developed by NextChip, a Korean manufacturer. AHD is interesting because most of its distribution has come in the form of no name brands. However, it was recently adopted by Samsung, making the technology considerably more legitimate as far as mainstream markets and long-term sustainability go. HD-AHD cameras are very cheap and are intended to occupy the low-end market.
