This post will be covering how to determine battery health using a number of methods. It will progress through each of these methods, highlighting some benefits and drawbacks. One of the easiest ways to test a battery is whether it will power a device or not. Using a voltmeter will provide how much potential is left in a battery. Although these methods are simple, they fail to provide how much life is left in the battery. This can be problem…
I had written a post awhile back about color isolation using imagemagick. Here is a recap, but this time using FFMpeg. This turned out to be a good color pattern to do testing against. the reason I prefer this is because it contains white and black space to visually understand the results of the filter. Lets try this command. ffplay -i “color-pattern.jpg” -vf “colorhold=0xFF0000:similarity=0.25” Now our image shows only the defined color threshold, in this example it’s red. Here are…
In this post I’ll demonstrate how to stabilize and enhance low resolution video using FFMpeg. I will also discuss the pros and cons of hardware options available. From there the discussion will show examples of software options that have supplanted hardware. Lastly, I will introduce some examples of AI that others have used. The Z51 660mm Below is a side by side comparison of video taken from one of my fixed wing remote control (RC) planes. Here is the script…
