• Automated Object Labeling System for Scalable and Efficient Real-Time Recognition

  ORAL

  March 18, 2025, 9:48 AM – March 18, 2025, 10:00 AM

  Publication: Current Work:
  Capaldi, E.; Capaldi, A. "Automated Machine Vision Training for Large Class Number Sorting Applications." manuscript in preparation and expected to be submitted to PeerJ Computer Science in November.
  
  The current work tangentially builds on the following previously published work that I presented at APS last year:
  Capaldi, E.I. (2024) "A low-cost wireless extension for object detection and data logging for educational robotics using the ESP-NOW protocol." PeerJ Computer Science, 10, e1826.
