About robotgeek
Rocker, philosopher, Mac lover, geek, robotics freak and an optimist. These describe me adequately, i guess!
When I find time away from my lab, I love to code my robots using java to be compatible with robocode . I also make it a point to visit Slashdot or read on Wikipedia . Of course, all this has to be done while listening to Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Metallica or Pearl Jam, mostly on Shoutcast online radio .
I also like to read. Though I don't find much time now, I generally stick to what I like, which is Ayn Rand. Let's just hope the world heads in the right direction
2004 has been the year of the blog, and I could not be left out!

Hey just wanted to say THANKS!! your tutorial saved me $50!! It was well written and easy to follow. Passport photos around here go for $10 for 2, and I needed a bunch for some USCIS applications that I am doing.
Thanks again! Yatrik Shah
Hi Venkat,
I tried using GIMP to format my passport photos, but it seemed too much of a hassle, downloading and installing the program and figuring out how to use it.
So I decided to put my little knowledge of computer vision to some good use and solved the problem of formatting passport photos once and for all using face detection. It works great and you can check the results at http://freepassportphoto.dyndns.org/
Your article ranks high in the Google search results, and hopefully Page-Rank will think more of my web app if you recommend it. If you like it, please include a link to it in the references for your article.
Thanks,
