OpenCV Live

Join Jason Ren of Ai2 (Allen Institute for AI) for MolmoMotion: Forecasting Point Trajectories in 3D with Language Instruction, a live look at how open multimodal models move past describing a scene to predicting where things go next. Building on the Molmo family's pointing and tracking capabilities, MolmoMotion takes a plain-language instruction and forecasts point trajectories through 3D space, so the model answers by showing exactly where and when motion will happen. Expect live demos, a walk through the training data and recipe, and a discussion of what this opens up for robotics, video understanding, and embodied agents.

Air cargo still runs on estimates — dimensions eyeballed at acceptance, and containers packed by "feel." Suraj Nair, founder of Singapore-based Speedcargo, joins OpenCV Live to show how 3D computer vision, optimization algorithms, and gantry robotics replace that guesswork with measured cargo data. He'll cover what it takes to get perception working reliably in a live cargo terminal, and where the industry's automation efforts go next.

One robot is a demo; a hundred robots is an operations problem. Civ Robotics CTO Amit Moran walks through the software practices that keep a distributed rover fleet alive in the field — pinned builds, heartbeats on everything, remote restarts, and the mission data that saves you after the fact.

Join us this week for a presentation titled "Building the Next Generation of Synthetic Media," where Victor Erukhimov shows us how generative AI is reshaping the way digital humans and video content are created. The talk covers two products built by the team: Avatar SDK, a toolkit for generating photorealistic 3D avatars, and CraftStory, their GenAI-driven storytelling product. Viewers will learn about real-world deployments, including a 3D FIFA World Cup 2026 viewing experience built for the BBC in which every player was recreated as an Avatar SDK-generated avatar.   OpenCV is a 501(c)(3) registered non-profit in the United States.

Autonomous drones only fly as well as they can figure out where they are. Drop one into a forest, a dense city, or a disaster zone, and that gets a lot harder — the signals they normally lean on just aren't there. This week we get into HUNT, a navigation approach built for exactly the places where the usual answers fall apart.   OpenCV is a 501(c)(3) registered non-profit in the United States.

Our guest this week is Alireza Taheritajar, a Ph.D. Student an Augusta University focusing on In-Situ Intelligent Mixed Reality Assistants for Adaptive Human-AI Collaboration. Mixed-reality overlays have been around for awhile, but with the recent upgrades in camera quality, lens resolution, and processing power they are becoming more useful than ever. Join us for a look at some very cool research and development tech here on OpenCV Live. OpenCV is a 501(c)(3) registered non-profit in the United States.

In this talk, Pengyuan Li will present the team's efforts in building the Granite Vision model—a lightweight, large vision-language model specifically designed to excel in enterprise use cases, particularly in visual document understanding. Compared to other models of similar parameter size, Granite Vision achieves state-of-the-art performance on established benchmarks for visual document understanding, table and chart conversion to structured formats, and general image tasks. Since its release, Granite Vision has yield more than 150K usages and downloads on Hugging Face. The model is publicly available on HuggingFace under the Apache 2.0 license.
