I am looking for someone who can make some custom changes to my Wordpress thesis blogs. One is a new site that needs some basic changes.

The other is an older site that I transitioned to a new website design and has some issues I need to iron out.

Give it to me straight...
Looking for someone to upload Opencart online store software, a theme and get my online site all working for me so I can go ahead and just add in the items I am selling and prices.

I don't have a huge budget, but I don't want to be stingy either. It shouldn't be too big of a job, and ongoing work can be expected as I need other changes and functions added.

Let me know if you have the experience with such things. Available via PM or fenriswulf at iinet dot net dot au.

Cheers!

Hooya hey
I've dreamed up a project, but I don't even know what type of architecture/coding/hardware I need in order to accomplish some of the major functions. Below is an interaction between user and system that would require a lot of different pieces ... Any information as to what those pieces are (or a better place to post this, suggestions, etc) are greatly appreciated ... best to email me at spamail@maine.rr.com

Example
Every user defines two values, X and Y (hours) via graphic interface on iPhone or Android. The centralized server/system maintains a timer for each user set to a random value between X and Y (hours).

At expiration of the timer, the system:
Checks if the user is logged in
If the user is logged in, then:
- The timer is reset (to a value between X and Y) and variables associated with the user are manipulated

If the user is not logged in, then:
- System texts the user’s cell phone and starts another (10-minute) timer

If the user logs in before this 10-minute timer expires, then:
- Variables associated with the user are manipulated

If the 10-minute timer expires (the user doesn’t log in), then:
- Variables associated with the user are manipulated

------
So there is a mobile app, a server (of some sort??), sub-routines running for each user (in this case, the timer), the system needs to be able to tell if someone is logged in, the system needs to be able to interface with the real work (e.g. call a cell phone), and there'd be a database to store user info and other data.

Ideas?

I'd trade it all for just a little more.

Looking for a Java developer for a project. We need some code that can find a person within photograph, and then crop the image down to a certain number of pixels around the person(just a nice big box, not actually cut their shape out or anything). You'll have an 'empty' image to compare to that won't change(besides time of day lighting type changes). The person could be sitting or facing different ways, so image or shape recognition wouldn't work I don't believe, but I really don't know.

Basically, we've got piles of huge images that need to be cropped down.

I've done this in C# as part of my degree's FYP (a human-tracking sentry gun) - but it wasnt perfect, and did require the Person's shape to be fairly well-defined. It didn't use any face-shape recognition techniques (like you get in modern cameras) but body outline recognition .

If you're interested, I can modify my C# program for your needs. Would that interest you?

EDIT: I just re-read your post and saw you said you can provide "empty" shots that would serve for a diff comparison, so I could build that in too.

Sure. We're flexible on the Java thing, it's really just a request so that our in-house developer can take over a lot easier down the line.

I shouldn't have even mentioned it's a person I guess, as it could be just an 'object'. I should be able to hand your code 1 'blank' or background image, and 3 images with a foreign object somewhere in it, and your code tells gives me to coordinates of the approximate center of the object so we can crop the image down. No need to actually find the outline or anything fancy like that.

No need to actually find the outline or anything fancy like that.

So there's a background plate and a photo and the only thing that changes between the two images is that there's an additional object? Not even minor changes, like maybe the two photos weren't taken in exactly the same spot? That would be easy - look for an area of concentration with the highest difference in luminosity between the two pixels.

Actually you're right, I didn't read the second post too closely. If the "blank" photo is truly fixed then the problem is easier, though with lighting and time of day changes it'll still be less than trivial. If the blank photo is less than perfectly fixed AND you have lighting changes then your problem remains pretty difficult, but not impossible. Do you need it as a run-time system, or do you just want to run it on a big batch of data, one time? How big are your images?

Why would you want the center of the object? Don't you just want the bounding box? (you can get the center from a bounding box but not vice-versa)

Also I have a hunch that this problem is more complex than you realize (because to a layman it sounds pretty simple) and that your budget is too small for it, unless there's some pre-existing library out there that already does this sort of thing and a coder just needs to wrap it in a script/tool. As Moreleth said, with lighting/time of day changes, the base image isn't truly "fixed", which ups the complexity by quite a bit. What kind of budget do you have allocated for this?

If you have a small set of images (ten-thousands or below) that you just want to crop, instead of building an automated solution, consider paying some people to crop the images individually using a specially built cropping tool, or forking out to the Amazon Mechanical Turk.

No, this needs to be done on the fly. ~400k images. Speed isn't so much an issue, if it takes 10 minute to process 3 images, that doesn't really matter to us.

We don't have a budget, this is a feature we don't need, we just want, so we are trying to get a very general estimate to see if it's worth it to us. We don't have funding issues so it's more of a question of do we want to spend X amount of dollars to have this now, or tackle it in a few months when the bulk of the project already complete, etc.

On the bounding box: I don't believe that detail really matters to us, the point isnt really get cut an object out of a picture, its to get rid of all the extra border that comes from shooting way too wide. I just wanted to get the point across that we needed the general location of the object, not the outline or anything.

The object should always be at least 10% of the shot, we aren't trying to find a hockey puck in a rink or anything.

But how will you know how much of the image is extraneous if you don't know the bounding box of the item in the image?

Its fairly common boiler plate for "If you don't have quite this skillset, send in a resume anyway", basically as a backup in case no-one has that skillset.

Which is a bit redundant here, since lamp stacks are the NATO standard of the web world.

Developers targeting the LAMP stack only needs to concern themselves with the "MP" part - the L and the A are interchangable for {{B,W,M},{A,I,L}} respectively unless the web application has specific system requirements (which immediately makes it suspect - if a PHP application is calling system() then something really bad is going on).
