Yesterday, our office from Brașov was buzzing with fresh energy 🚀

We had the pleasure of welcoming a group of curious and ambitious students into our workspace to share stories, exchange ideas, and offer a behind-the-scenes look at what life in a software development company actually feels like.

We talked about the projects we're working on, the challenges we face, and what it really means to build meaningful tech as a team. Also, there was pizza. 🍕

We want to thank everyone who joined us! Your questions were sharp and your curiosity is inspiring. We hope this was just the beginning of more conversations to come!

We're proud to share the work of Sebastian Vîrtopeanu, one of our innovative Data Scientists. His work in advancing computer vision and real-time analytics is part of his bachelor’s thesis.

It all started as a summer project focused on ping pong tracking, where he incorporated rigorous scientific methods to benchmark and enhance his model. He conducted cross-validation studies comparing his own approach with an established research model, providing insights into model performance under varied lighting conditions and table environments. His first approach integrated fundamental computer vision techniques such as HSV filtering and morphological operations, while switching to pre-trained models like YOLO and SAM with GDINO.

What began as a simple experiment aimed at detecting an orange ping-pong ball with a laptop camera quickly evolved into a sophisticated system. His early tests in real-world settings (from backyard games to challenging indoor environments with artificial lighting) led him to confront several key challenges:

• High-Speed Motion & Lighting Artifacts: Rapid ball movement causes significant distortion, while common 50-60 Hz artificial lighting interferes with video capture, necessitating high frame rates to meet Nyquist’s criteria.

• Background Complexity: Similar-looking objects and reflections demanded more than classical computer vision techniques such as frame differencing, HSV filtering, and morphological operations.

To overcome these hurdles, Sebastian integrated advanced deep learning methods—employing pre-trained models like YOLO and techniques such as SAM with GDINO—to improve detection accuracy for both the ball and the ping-pong table. His system now processes images at an impressive 35–45 FPS with around 1 pixel RMSE accuracy for the ball’s coordinates, making it well-suited for real-time applications.

Beyond detection, Sebastian’s project features several innovative modules:
• Trajectory Reconstruction: By continuously tracking the ball’s position using a frame-by-frame coordinate queue, he developed a robust method for reconstructing its 2D and even 3D trajectory, combining top-down and lateral video perspectives.

• Video Synchronization: Leveraging audio analysis to synchronize multiple video streams, his approach ensures precise cross-view alignment.

• Parallel Processing: Implementing a producer-consumer threading pattern, where one thread handles GPU-driven inference and another manages video output, he significantly boosted performance while addressing Python’s GIL constraints.

The potential applications of this technology are extensive. In sports analytics, such a system can provide coaches and athletes with detailed performance metrics and automated officiating support. In robotics and simulation, accurate real-time tracking is vital for developing responsive control systems and immersive training environments.

Congratulations, Sebastian, on this outstanding achievement!

🚀 CES 2025 has been a front-row seat to the future and a great opportunity to see innovative products and services in action, alongside their builders that make possible our AI-powered future!

The event brought together a lot of products with groundbreaking AI advancements. NVIDIA's presentation about Agentic AI and the Cosmos platform for robotics and autonomous vehicles stole the show, demonstrating how AI is reshaping industries across the board.

Everyone was talking about AI. Everyone! Everywhere we looked, the theme of human-centric technology resonated. It wasn’t about replacing people with machines, it was about enabling people through machines. This aligned perfectly with our mission to build solutions that don’t just impress but truly empower.

We're energized by the insights gained at CES 2025 and the contacts created, and every conversation we had, every idea sparked, reminded us of the responsibility we carry to build solutions that matter.

To our customers, partners, and team, know this: we’re not just imagining a better future; we’re building it. One breakthrough, one connection, one moment of inspiration at a time.

2025 is here and we're more than ready to support founders and businesses in tackling one of the most critical decisions for their growth: Choosing the right software development partner.

We understand the unique challenges this decision entails, and we’re here to make the process seamless and effective.

One of the biggest concerns founders face is ensuring the team they choose has the technical expertise to meet their project’s specific needs. With evolving technologies and niche requirements, finding a team that truly understands the complexities of your vision is essential.

Another common challenge is aligning the development team’s approach with the business’s strategic goals. A successful partnership goes beyond technical ex*****on, it’s about working with a team that understands your vision, values, and long-term objectives.

Finally, balancing quality with timely and budget-conscious delivery is a major hurdle. Founders need assurance that their development partner can deliver high-quality solutions on schedule without compromising on cost-efficiency.

At Cornerstone Technologies we specialize in addressing these challenges. Our experienced team brings proven technical expertise, a client-first approach to aligning with your business goals, and a transparent process that ensures projects are delivered on time and within budget.

If you’re looking to start your next project with a partner who truly understands your needs, we’re here to help. Reach out today to start the conversation!
