Huge recommendation:
The AI Revolution: The Road to Superintelligence by Tim Urban
He goes form “as soon as it works, no one calls it AI anymore” all the way up to “I hope you enjoyed normal time, because this is when this topic gets unnormal and scary, and it’s gonna stay that way from here forward.”

The awesome post of blogs.wcode.org [1] on how to get openCV up and running helped a lot, thanks!
Although there were some things I had to add to get everything I needed. Basically the openCV contrib (SIFT, …) [2] and some additions within cmake to get it to build and run.
Here is a quick overview of what I did, mixed my own findings with what blogs.wcode.org suggested in [1]:
1) Download opencv from [3] and extract
2) Make directories ‘StaticLib’ and ‘contrib’ within the the extracted folder
3) Run CMAKE and make the following Settings:
x86_64/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.10.sdk4) Configure (select UNIX Makefiles) and Generate
5) Make and install
make
make install
6) Check e.g. in python if everything works:
import cv2
cv2.__version__

If you’re building a product, you have to be great at saying No. Not ‘maybe’ or ‘later’. The only word is No. Building a great product isn’t about creating tonnes of tactically useful features which are tangentially related.

Started a small project in order to extend our internal portal with information of our Agfeo PBX.
I’m now able to make a specific phone dial a number and retrieve its caller list.
I also created a github repository for the scripts i created during the testing. This repository does not include my full implementation but all necessary parts: https://github.com/phhe/AgfeoRuby

Everybody has had the experience of not recognising someone they know—changes in pose, illumination and expression all make the task tricky. So it’s not surprising that computer vision systems have similar problems.
