Driver Assistance: GM Thinks Camera-Based Systems Make Fiscal And Functional Sense

Mid-month, I mentioned that the U.S. government was considering mandating the inclusion of rear-view cameras in all vehicles, and I pondered what sort of beyond-backup-view applications engineers might find for the resultant image sensors, processors and other circuitry. The case for front-mounted image subsystems has historically been less solid, however. For one thing, the driver's […]

Staying Awake: Embedded Vision Assistance Keeps Drivers From Making A Big Mistake

Back in mid-November, I discussed taxicab drivers' backlash at the increasing presence of cameras inside vehicles…ostensibly for driver safety reasons (to compel would-be evildoers to suppress their urges, or at minimum to capture in-progress crime evidence for subsequent prosecution) but (the drivers believe) also for Big Brother employee monitoring purposes. Such cameras aren't restricted solely

Mobile Video Editing: Server-Side Assistance Is Your Drudgery-Offload Friend

I daresay a number of you are probably going to be shooting some video in the coming days…of kids opening presents, of carolers at your door, of pre-meal toasts…and of drunken New Years behavior perfect for future blackmail evidence. Whatever your motivation and subject, editing the raw footage is a tedious and time-consuming task that

Facial Recognition: A Mobile Application Yearning For Stereo Vision?

As I previously mentioned in mid-October, the latest-generation Android 4 "Ice Cream Sandwich" operating system from Google touts (among other things) built-in support for facial recognition as a system unlock option. And as I mentioned a few days later, it…umm…doesn't yet work terribly well. Not only is its operation inherently erratic, especially in low-light settings,

The Backup Camera: Entrée To A Burgeoning Embedded Vision Automotive Era?

The presence of front-facing cameras built into modern cellular phones and tablet computers was initially justified for videoconferencing applications. Similarly, rear-facing cameras' primary function is to obsolete the historical need for separate standalone devices. But with the image sensors (and associated image processors) now in place, embedded vision visionaries are harnessing them for an abundance
