This project was kicked off under the SOSCIP consortium and the purpose was to build an open source 3rd generation artificial neural network. This neural network was going to be a generic one, so that anyone could use it, to potentially solve any existing real life problem. It would use computer vision to model the working of the human eye and this would serve as the stimulus to the network to make decisions based on the problem set. Be it pattern recognition, cloud pattern analysis or tracking space debris. I primarily worked with OpenCV, which is an open source computer vision library. My experience with OpenCV and the OpenCV community has been an exciting one to say the least.
