If you wish to use the map services of Google Maps, personal data will inevitably be transmitted to Google. Google is a service provider in a third country with a level of data protection that is not equivalent to that of the EU. Your data may also be used by Google for its own purposes. Google is able to identify you as a natural person based on your IP address, your Google account (if available and logged in) and other criteria. You can find out more about the data processing carried out by Google HERE.

In the talk, we used a single convolutional neuron to identify an uppercase 'E' as an example. The actual systems still commonly use neural networks (not just a single neuron) for the purpose, and that performs well across fonts and languages. Some additional details are present below:

Matlab has traditionally been used for this as it has many Computer Vision functions built-in natively or in toolboxes. Function "imshow" can be used to instantly display array data as an image.

By clicking on the button "Load Google Maps" you agree that your data will be transmitted to Google. A transmission takes place only after consent has been given.

Before opening the Excel file(s), change Excel Formula Calculation to "Manual" since some calculations (Hough Transform specifically) are time-consuming (say an hour). Then trigger recalculation manually as per need.

In the talk, a toy example was shown using a single convolutional neuron to recognize an 'E'. Neural networks use a number of layers of neurons for the task to recognize all characters of interest. The same neural network then outputs which character is present at the input. You can imagine this as having a separate simple neural network like for 'E' for recognizing each character of interest. The combined neural network would, however, have several neurons shared in the path for recognizing each character.

The face shadow on the right would still be missed by the algorithm since such face images are not included in the training data. My educated guess further will be that to detect such shadowed faces, the algorithm described would not do a good job, and using neural networks would be recommended. Likewise, the algorithm we demonstrated is outperformed by a neural networks for "Labeled faces in the wild" dataset where faces are often partially occluded too.

While the files open in LibreOffice (tested in version 6.4.0.3 (x64)), it is slow to the level of being unusable, even when using native LibreOffice Calc file format. (See Hacker News discussion on this here.) We have not tested in Apache OpenOffice.

Handwriting recognition is harder, unsurprisingly. The best performance is reached when the pen strokes data is available as a function of time (e.g., when recognizing handwriting input on a touch-screen). References are readily available online for further reading.

Spreadsheets are not designed for something like this, and the technique is not being recommended for any work or research. It is however helping many people understand the concepts better.

Below are references to two freely-downloadable good books on classical Computer Vision (i.e., before deep learning came into the field):

In the example shown in the talk, even the weights of that single neuron were hand-crafted, not actually learned using a training algorithm. Even a single neuron would do better than the demo when actually trained.

For document OCR (as opposed to scene text recognition), the document itself is typically straightened first before character recognition is performed for the characters in the document. Therefore, the characters are expected to be nearly upright.

The techniques are still relevant. Neural networks are taking over for all complex computer vision problems, especially those unsolved by the classical techniques. For simpler operations, the classical solutions are faster to put together and are usually computationally more efficient. Also, classical techniques are still the default choice for edge devices (smartphones, web clients) though modern techniques are making an entry notably via hardware acceleration (e.g., 1, 2).

Those familiar with R1C1 formula reference style in Excel, or those adventurous, should try switching to it by looking in Excel options and turning it on. See the screenshot below and check the box to enable it. This changes the formulas from "D5" type format to a relative style like "R[-1]C[2]" (absolute references also allowed as "R4C5" for example), bringing it closer to programming languages and aiding understanding.

About 1.5 years back, we had to give an introductory talk on Computer Vision to a wide audience within Amazon, many of whom would have been completely unfamiliar with the subject. We thought about starting from the very basics by showing that an image is essentially a 2D array of numbers (for each color channel for color images) and thought about showing these using Excel.

In the talk, a single neuron was used to both scan the image and recognize the letter. Typically, scanning text of different sizes is done separately using various methods. Once every character of text is isolated, it is re-scaled to a fixed size and then a neural network is used to identify the letter.

For practical implementation, there are many books on OpenCV, a common Computer Vision library like Learning OpenCV 3: Computer Vision in C++ with the OpenCV Library, Gary Bradski, Adrian Kaehler

"... used Excel to explain the core concepts and algorithms so clear that I feel I could start working with it right now! ..."

Computer Vision is often seen by software developers and others as a hard field to get into. In this article, we'll learn Computer Vision from basics using sample algorithms implemented within Microsoft Excel, using a series of one-liner Excel formulas. We'll use a surprise trick that helps us demonstrate and visualize algorithms like Face Detection, Hough Transform, etc., within Excel, with no dependence on any script or a third-party plugin.

The work was created using Excel 2016 on Windows; it should however open in other versions of Excel (tested with Excel 2007 on Windows, and Excel for Mac).

As noted above, even the rectangles and lines used for annotations are drawn using generic formulas, i.e., not using any potential special formulas available in Excel add-ins.

Note that the Face Detection parameters used in the Excel files would likely fail to detect Einstein's face as the Haar-like features were fine-tuned by hand for detecting Mona Lisa's face in just that image. However, the method can again be easily fine-tuned for Einstein's face, and, when the parameters are calculated using Machine Learning, it works on most frontal-looking faces (assuming not occluded, not too small, etc.). See question #4 below for further details on this.

Ideally, the image should be converted to grayscale first, or luminosity values should be computed (see here). This was skipped just for simplicity of explanation.

No prior background in Computer Vision should be needed to follow the material. It is assumed that the audience knows Microsoft Excel basics and can read its documentation, or search online for interpreting the formulas used. Exceljet is a great resource for the latter.

Some mathematical understanding would be needed: Those who won't know what weighted average is won't be able to follow much. Understanding of partial derivatives would be helpful but not required. Most complex mathematical concept used is eigenvalues, but again the readers should be able to follow even if they do not know or remember the same.

We demonstrated the core concept of a popular face detection algorithm using just three Haar-like features and two stages, which were hand-crafted to detect the face of Mona Lisa in that specific image. The actual features as well as the stages are in practice calculated using Machine Learning, which commonly results in a few thousands of such features, as well as over ten stages. Then the system is able to detect over 99% of the nearly frontal looking faces (while a separate pre-trained model is available for faces looking nearly sideways in OpenCV).
