The Parrot AR.Drone 2.0: Upgraded Video Capture Steals The (Consumer Electronics) Show

Uncategorized /

Parrot's first-generation AR.Drone has proven to be (along with quad-rotors from other companies such as Ascending Technologies) a popular platform for implementing autonomous flight and other embedded vision algorithms in both hobbyist and academic research settings. Check out, for example, the following video: Key to the device's market success, among other factors, is its reasonably […]

A Living Room (Embedded) Vision: Samsung Brings Image Sensors To The Television

Face Detection, Face Recognition, Gesture Control /

The persistent rumors of an impending Apple-branded television (likely integrating, among other things, the functionality of today's standalone Apple TV STB) seemingly has other consumer electronics manufacturers motivated to get out in front of the folks at One Infinite Loop, judging from the news coming out of Las Vegas. Although Logitech's Google TV experiment wasn't

A Six-By-Six Pixel Cluster: Fujifilm Take Another Stab At The Image Sensor

Sensors /

As I previously mentioned in a technical article published to the Embedded Vision Alliance site last August, the Bayer Pattern (named after Eastman Kodak's Bryce E. Bayer, its inventor) is by far the most common filter array pattern used with both CCDs and CMOS image sensors. Containing 50% green filters, 25% red filters and 25%

Embedded Vision For Driver Assistance: An Aftermarket-Enabled Transition, Albeit Via Camera Phone Assimilation?

Uncategorized /

Government regulation coupled with manufacturer motivation seems to be building a "perfect storm" that's poised to push image sensors and vision processors into automobiles in a big way, specifically for driver-assistance purposes (rear-view augmentation, front-view collision avoidance, lane departure warnings, and the like). That's all well and good for new vehicle makes and models, of

Microsoft Kinect’s Increasingly Upbeat Fate: Sales, Hardware And Software Updates

Face Detection, Face Recognition, Gesture Control /

Steve Ballmer's CES-officially-opening keynote is under way as I type this, but thanks to the liveblogs of folks such as Engadget and The Verge (not to mention the Microsoft-served live video stream), I'm able to keep up even though I'm not in attendance in Las Vegas. One tidbit that I just saw is particularly relevant

Intel’s Ultrabook Gesture Interface Cues: For EVA Followers, They’re Old News

Gesture Control /

It's probably not surprising to any close follower of technology that the Ultrabook form factor snagged center stage at Intel's press briefing earlier today. Taking a page from Apple's MacBook Air, which is based on Intel CPUs, and hoping to steal the thunder from Apple and others' tablets, most of which are not currently based

Apple’s iOS: Embedded Vision Developments

Face Detection, Face Recognition /

Back in late October, I mentioned a number of filed-and-granted Apple patents related to embedded vision. Following in the footsteps of Google and Nokia            , the company has registered patent protection for a facial recognition-based system login scheme (at least according to 9to5Mac, Cult of Mac, Engadget, MacRumors, The Unofficial Apple Weblog, and VentureBeat).

No Pudding For You! To Kids, Intel And Kraft May Be Cruel*

Face Detection, Face Recognition /

Facial recognition technology may not yet be able to swiftly (or for that matter, reliably regardless of speed) identify a particular person, but it's already able to do a credible job with lesser-complexity tasks, such as discerning an individual's gender, ethnicity or general age group. To the latter point, the above-pictured vending machine was co-developed

Vision-Based GUI Control: Tobii Makes It So

Object Tracking /

Shortly before Christmas, I mentioned how Sweden-based Tobii hoped to use eye-tracking algorithms in conjunction with image sensor-inclusive automobile interiors to (for example) awaken drivers when they were nodding off or alert parents when their behind-the-wheel teenagers were paying more attention to text messaging sessions on their cellphones than on the roadway ahead of them.
