GLMixer
Graphic Live Mixer
GLMixer performs real time graphical blending of several movie clips and of computer generated graphics. Drop video files in the mixing workspace and place them in a circular area to change their opacity ; if you selects two videos, moving them together performs a fading transition. This principle generalizes to a large number of videos. Direct interaction with the video allows to be fast and reactive, and to move and deform them on screen. The output of your operations is shown in the output window, typically displayed in full-screen on an external monitor or a projector. But the output can also be saved as a video file. Control GLMixer through network using OpenSoundControl, and generate graphics with ShaderToy GLSL code. Download : https://sourceforge.net/projects/glmixer/files/ Please note GLMixer is discontinued and superseded by vimix https://brunoherbelin.github.io/vimix/ -

Serial Studio
Multi-purpose serial data visualization & processing
Serial Studio is a simple, multi-platform, and multi-purpose serial data visualization program that allows embedded developers to visualize, analyze, and present data generated from their projects and devices while avoiding the need to write project-specific visualization software. Over my many CanSat-based competitions, I found myself writing and maintaining several Ground Station software for each program. However, I decided that it would be easier and more sustainable to define one flexible Ground Station Software that lets developers define how each CanSat presents data using an extensible communication protocol for easy data visualization. Developers can also use Serial Studio for almost any data acquisition and visualization project outside of CanSat, now supporting data retrieval from hardware serial ports, software serial ports, MQTT, and network sockets (TCP/UDP). You can download and install Serial Studio for your preferred platform. -

Dozzle
Realtime log viewer for containers. Supports Docker, Swarm and K8s
Dozzle is a lightweight, self-hosted web application for real-time viewing and monitoring of container logs, focused on speed and simplicity rather than building a full log storage pipeline. Instead of indexing or storing logs, it connects to your container runtime and streams live output so you can diagnose issues as they happen. The interface includes practical quality-of-life features like fuzzy searching for containers, regex log search, split-screen viewing for multiple logs, and live stats such as CPU and memory usage. It supports more advanced analysis through an in-browser SQL query engine for querying logs, which helps when you need structured filtering without exporting data elsewhere. Dozzle also supports multi-user authentication and can integrate with proxy-forward authorization setups for deployments behind gateways. For larger environments, it can monitor multiple hosts via an agent mode and supports orchestrators like Docker Swarm and Kubernetes. -

GPUImage 2
Framework for GPU-accelerated video and image processing
GPUImage 2 is the second generation of the GPUImage framework, an open source project for performing GPU-accelerated image and video processing on Mac, iOS, and now Linux. The original GPUImage framework was written in Objective-C and targeted Mac and iOS, but this latest version is written entirely in Swift and can also target Linux and future platforms that support Swift code. The objective of the framework is to make it as easy as possible to set up and perform realtime video processing or machine vision against image or video sources. By relying on the GPU to run these operations, performance improvements of 100X or more over CPU-bound code can be realized. This is particularly noticeable in mobile or embedded devices. On an iPhone 4S, this framework can easily process 1080p video at over 60 FPS. On a Raspberry Pi 3, it can perform Sobel edge detection on live 720p video at over 20 FPS. -

PyTorch Natural Language Processing
Basic Utilities for PyTorch Natural Language Processing (NLP)
PyTorch-NLP is a library for Natural Language Processing (NLP) in Python. It’s built with the very latest research in mind, and was designed from day one to support rapid prototyping. PyTorch-NLP comes with pre-trained embeddings, samplers, dataset loaders, metrics, neural network modules and text encoders. It’s open-source software, released under the BSD3 license. With your batch in hand, you can use PyTorch to develop and train your model using gradient descent. For example, check out this example code for training on the Stanford Natural Language Inference (SNLI) Corpus. Now you've setup your pipeline, you may want to ensure that some functions run deterministically. Wrap any code that's random, with fork_rng and you'll be good to go. Now that you've computed your vocabulary, you may want to make use of pre-trained word vectors to set your embeddings. -
