More Than Technical

Hi
I always strive to be more open with my knowledge, so I decided to publish more posts of lesser “scientific” value and more just helpful stuff in various domains.
This time I want to share a list of website where you can purchase hardware for hacking and building.
Many are unhappy with the one-stop-shop Mc. Master-Carr and looking for an alternative. So here is what I found:

• MSC metalworking – seems to be about metal
• Small Parts – equivalent to Mc.Master-Carr
• Genuine Aircraft Hardware – they have a lot of stuff
• Production Tools Supply (PTS) – pretty much only tools
• Grainger – tools and parts as far as the eye can see
• MSC Industrial Supply – tools & parts
• Fastenal – tools & parts, kind of expensive

That’s it!

I treat this as a kind of tutorial, or a toy example, of how to perform Structure from Motion in OpenCV.

Let’s get down to business…
