IOS / File Sharing via iTunes and Files app (iOS 11)

Saving FILE / DOCUMENT that you generate using your iOS app is an interesting task when developing iOS App. Eventually you also want to know this ability.

You can apparently very quickly save out text files, or output all kind of processed files, etc. into Document sandbox of your app, for later to be accessible via iTunes or NEW Files app (iOS 11)!

WRITE

CUSTOM URL

You need to prepare your URL Scheme for your app first. This will be handy at later stage.

PLIST

Then we got to deal with PLIST attributions. This is pretty easy once understood.

Loading files could also be interesting, but something I need to research in the future.

WOLFRAM / Making Text With Rainbow Color

Continuing with my Wolfram Mathematica Trial Experience... I watched and went through some more Mathematica introduction videos, read lots of Mathematica documentation and also going through the Wolfram Lab Online again a few times. There are some major learning curves and Mathematica is a lot different from normal programming language. Sometimes there is a lot of interesting "shortcuts", say like: FindFaces[] , WordCloud[] . Sometimes I got a little confused on how one can do iterations. Normally FOR LOOP concept is introduced early, but in Wolfram, because everything is EXPRESSIONS and ENTITY (like OBJECTS), sometimes it gets quite quirky. Mind you I am still in the first impression and having to look at many tutorials. Lots of NEAT EXAMPLES from documentation, but sometimes I got lost. I found Wolfram to be really awesome with LIST and generating list. It's almost too easy when it works visually. I cannot explain them with my own words yet, but there are ...

PYTHON / OpenCV, Recreate Uncanny Manga - Anime Style

Can you tell what it is? Computer Vision. Yesterday, I spend almost whole day exploring this opencv module using Python. What I discovered was revealing. Even at the very basic level, I could produce some interesting Image and Video manipulation using all the code collected from documentation and many, many blog tutorials. If you are a total noob like me, I am still getting used to knowing that the CV in OpenCV means Computer Vision! Actuallly, I recalled that I did try to get into OpenCV few years back ago, when I knew no Python and when Python opencv module was probably still early. It was all C++ code and it was a little bit too hard for me. I read a couple of books about opencv at the library, I did not understand a single thing. That was back then. Today, for strange reason, with a bit of knowledge of Python, I can go a little further. EDGE DETECT IN OPENCV Me holding you know what. What leads me this far is my curiosity on how we can replicate Wolfram Langu...

ML / Using Turi Create for Machine Learning Style Transfer

A few days ago, I found out about "Turi Create" , basically a Python module, a tool from Apple that allows non-Apple computer user to generate MLM aka Machine Learning Model that can be integrated inside iOS app on iPhone and iPad. The cool thing about Turi Create is that you can also use it for your own purpose in processing data using Machine Learning. https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2018/712/ As an additional note, at WWDC 2018, Apple also presented XCode Playground tool for MacOS that allows user to easily generate this MLM model for all kind of purposes. The process is as simple as drag and drop for Image Classifier. It is quite fascinating and worth watching the video. STYLE TRANSFER From what I gather after a short research, there are a few applications of Machine Learning that we can use in application such as for Image Classification, Graphing, etc but one that interest me in particular is STYLE TRANSFER using Turi Create: https://apple.gith...
