ICPC previous sessions
Every week we are having our training sessions for the ICPC - International Collegiate Programming Contest, the most renowned programming contest in the world with thousands of universities from all over the world competing to choose the select the best programmers every year.
Our weekly training sessions aim at training students to become more prepared to those competitions. Our meetings take place every Thursdays at UHV campus room UC 201A and also online via Zoom meeting.
Below you can find what have happened in all previous sessions: programming fundamentals, combinatorics, and string matching.
Contact Dr. da Silva if you want to know more about it or if you are interested in joining a team to represent UHV during the contest.
Motion Capture Lab @UHV is once more a reality!
These last two days our group have been busy with the visit of a VICON engineer that helped us reconnecting all cameras and reinstalling all software of our motion capture laboratory.
Motion capture (sometimes referred as mo-cap or mocap, for short) is the process of recording the movement of objects or people. It uses special infrared cameras to track optical markers placed onto a subject's body wearing a suit. The spatial position of each marker is captured in real-time producing a massive amount of data that can later (after processing) be used in a large variety of applications like character animations, visual effects, motion analysis and much more.
Our own mocap solution contains 24 of such cameras that are now operational allowing us to use the installations for whatever we need: gaming, animations, computer science, kinesiology, etc. Check it out below some pictures we took during our training sessions.
Its time for us to start learning, practicing and developing our first test applications with this technology. If you are a UHV student interested in volunteering to help us work with one of our ongoing demo projects, please contact Dr. Rogerio da Silva at dasilvar@uhv.edu or come by his office at UW 254.
Soon enough the AMETIST group will be ready to invite everybody interested in learning more about this exciting domain.

ICPC training sessions kick off
It finally happened!
After months of preparation and a new laboratory being sorted specifically for the task... yesterday we had our first ICPC training session at UHV room UC201A + ZOOM meeting.
ICPC is the International Collegiate Programming Contest. The single most prestigious programming competition worldwide. Teams of three students sharing a computer trying to solve the most problems in 5 hours.
It involves problems in several domains: algorithms and programming fundamentals, data structures, strings, searching & sorting, number theory, combinatorics, computational geometry, grids, dynamic programming, backtracking, arithmetic & algebra, and graphs.
The goal of our weekly training sessions is to foment students to improve themselves in terms of programming, so to form teams to participate in the actual competition that takes place every November.
If you are a student at UHV (from any major) wanting to improve your own programming skills, even if you can't or doesn't want to compete, just to program, come join us!
Our training sessions take place every Thursday starting 2PM at room UC 201A in Victoria campus or online via Zoom.
