Topics
algorithmAlgorithm is a finite sequence of rigorous instructions, typically used to solve a class of specific problems or to perform a computation – Wikipedia.
62
artificial-intelligenceArtificial Intelligence describes a field that develops and studies methods and software which enable machines to perceive their environment and uses learning and intelligence to take actions that maximize their chances of achieving defined goals – Wikipedia.
108
automationAutomation describes a wide range of technologies that reduce human intervention in processes, mainly by predetermining decision criteria, subprocess relationships, and related actions, as well as embodying those predeterminations in machines – Wikipedia.
106
cameraA camera is an instrument used to capture and store images and videos, either digitally via an electronic image sensor, or chemically via a light-sensitive material such as photographic film – Wikipedia.
82
environmentEnvironment, or built world, refers to the human-made environment that provides the setting for activity, ranging in scale from installations to buildings.
227
filmA film is a work of visual art that simulates experiences and otherwise communicates ideas, stories, perceptions, feelings, beauty, or atmosphere through the use of moving images.
74
generativeThe term 'Generative' describes a process, in whole or in part, that is created using an autonomous system. An autonomous system in this context is generally non-human and can independently determine features that would otherwise require decisions made by the author/creator.
335
interactiveThe term 'Interactive' describes a process/exchange between users and computers and other machines through an interface (physical or spatial).
113
interfaceAn interface is a shared boundary across which two or more separate components of a system of exchange information. The exchange can be between software, computer hardware, peripheral devices, humans, animal-world, nature and combinations of these.
217
kinectKinect is a discontinued line of motion sensing input devices produced by Microsoft and first released in 2010. The devices generally contain RGB cameras, and infrared projectors and detectors that map depth through either structured light or time of flight calculations, which can in turn be used to perform real-time gesture recognition and body skeletal detection, among other capabilities.
75
machine-learningMachine learning (ML) is a field of study in artificial intelligence concerned with the development and study of statistical algorithms that can learn from data and generalize to unseen data, and thus perform tasks without explicit instructions.
57
networkA network may describe any form of an interconnected group or system, whether in computation or nature.

objectAn object is a thing that has physical existence but is not alive.
400
opencvOpenCV is a library of programming functions for real-time computer vision.
61
particlesIn the physical sciences, a particle is a small localized object which can be described by several physical or chemical properties, such as volume, density, or mass. In computation, it is mostly used as a point that may have a position and vector.
101
patternA pattern is a regularity in the world, in human-made design, or in abstract ideas. As such, the elements of a pattern repeat in a predictable manner.
48
processA process is a series or set of activities that interact to produce a result; it may occur once-only or be recurrent or periodic. On CAN we use it to describe workflows or how a project came to be.
193
projectionA projection is a design technique used to display a three-dimensional object on a two-dimensional surface. Similarly it describes a way of displaying two-dimensional information in a physical space by using light.
178
roboticsRobotics is an interdisciplinary branch of engineering and science that includes mechanical engineering, electronic engineering, information engineering, computer science, and others.
106
sculptureSculpture is the three-dimensional art work which is physically presented in the dimensions of height, width and depth.
58
simulationA simulation is an imitative representation of a process or system that could exist in the real or speculative world.
79
socialOn CAN we refer to things as "social" when they facilitate the creation, sharing and aggregation of content, ideas, interests, and other forms of expression through different forms of communities and networks.

theoryA theory is a rational type of abstract thinking about a phenomenon, or the results of such thinking.
