I love writing and optimizing stuff that puts strain on memory and CPU. Lately I’ve been wondering how well the .Net Dictionary object performs, and after looking at the source code for it, Googling and SO’ing I thought it would be good to complete the project with some real-world data that could be shared.

Using OpenCV haar image processing library to find faces on Kinect RGB cam real-time. Source will be released, but I’m in the middle of some major refactoring so hold on a bit longer…
OpenCV SURF object recognition. Capable of detecting object that is tilted and rotated. Using EmguCV OpenCV .Net wrapper. It’s part of my Kinect starters kit, a framework and a few sample modules for playing with Kinect programming in C#. Source will be released soon.
