Technology demonstrations from more than 30 participating companies at next week's Embedded Vision Summit supplement the computer vision concepts presented in the event's three presentation tracks, providing tangible examples of those concepts implemented in silicon and software. In the Technology Showcase, you'll be able to discover suppliers and enabling products that you can use in

Delivering the processing performance required by computer vision applications (typically tens of billions of operations per second) with cost and power consumption appropriate for mass-market products is a tough challenge. Just in the past few months, several new vision-specific co-processors, offered as licensable cores for incorporation into chips, have been announced, joining multiple previously introduced

Industry standards are critical to enabling widespread adoption of any new technology. With respect to embedded vision, they include such topics as APIs (application programming interfaces) and algorithm libraries. For example, Khronos' new OpenVX standard enables cross-platform acceleration of computer vision algorithms. Khronos' OpenCL framework is often used for writing computer vision programs that execute

System and software developers who want to build their skills in practical computer vision implementation techniques will want to check out the in-depth workshops being presented on May 11th and 13th in Santa Clara, California, in conjunction with the May 12th Embedded Vision Summit. Details on all four of the currently planned workshops are on

If you have followed recent news from companies like Baidu, Google, IBM, Microsoft, Qualcomm and Yahoo, you know that deep neural networks (and, in particular, convolutional neural networks) are becoming a very popular means of extracting meaning from images. If you want to understand the practical aspects of using neural networks for vision, you will

System and software developers who want to build their skills in practical computer vision implementation techniques will want to check out the in-depth workshops being presented on May 11th and 13th in Santa Clara, California, in conjunction with the May 12th Embedded Vision Summit.
