While eating jellybeans isn’t as hazardous in the real world as in the Harry Potter universe, it can still be unexpectedly interesting: you think you have a few raspberry flavored beans, but how do you know one of them isn’t actually cinnamon? In an effort to combat this anxiety-inducing problem, we collected several sets of image data. I’ll talk about how we applied computer vision techniques to isolate the beans and extract useful features from the images (as well as the associated challenges). Read more →
