By Michael Tusch Founder and CEO Apical Limited This article will expand on the theme initiated in the premier article of this series, that of exploring how the pixel processing performed in cameras can either enhance or hinder the performance of embedded vision algorithms. Achieving natural or otherwise aesthetically pleasing camera images is normally considered […]
By Brian Dipert Editor-In-Chief Embedded Vision Alliance Senior Analyst BDTI A diversity of image sensor options are available for your consideration, differentiated both in terms of their fundamental semiconductor process foundations and of their circuit (and filter, microlens and other supplement) implementations. Understanding their respective strengths and shortcomings is critical to making an appropriate product
