Image Processing Hits The Comic (Sort Of) Mainstream

Uncategorized /

Randall Munroe's web comic xkcd, which comes out every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, is admittedly one of my favorite Internet-delivered diversions. It's always entertaining and clever (IMHO, although not everyone seems to agree), and particularly popular with the techie community, albeit sometimes a bit obscure…thereby rationalizing the existence of sites such as Explain XKCD. And […]

Website Analytics: Exceedingly Useful Webcam Analysis “Tricks”

Information Access and Analytics /

I spent a few days at BDTI's Oakland office this week, as you already know if you saw last night's writeup on the interview with UC Berkeley's Jitendra Malik. Among other things, I had a face-to-face meeting with the folks who work on the Embedded Vision Alliance website. Stay tuned for more news on the

Visual Analysis: IBM’s Neural Breakthrough Aspires To Enhance Its Robustness

Uncategorized /

Yesterday morning, Embedded Vision Alliance founder Jeff Bier and I had the honor and pleasure of spending around an hour with Jitendra Malik, Arthur J. Chick Professor of EECS at the University of California at Berkeley for the past 25 years and one of the world's foremost computer vision researchers. I hope to have the

Robot Soldiers: Hampered By Their Imagers

Robotics /

As anyone who's followed the U.S. military's engagements in countries such as Afghanistan, Iraq, and Pakistan already knows, this country's armed forces are increasingly relying on robotic alternatives to human warriors; tread-equipped Roomba and Scooba siblings to disarm bombs, for example, or propeller- and wing-equipped drone alternatives to fighter jets for both surveillance and bomb-delivering

Augmented Reality: Applications Strive For Meaningful Applicability

Augmented Reality /

As you may recall, I devoted the week-ago news writeup to the topic of augmented reality. How appropriate it seemed, therefore, to open up yesterday's USA Today and find the every-Monday Digital Traveler column focused on the topic of AR this week. The writeup headline, however, foreshadows the lukewarm critique that follows it; 'Augmented reality

Facial Recognition: Is Caricature The Key To Accurate Cognition?

Face Detection, Face Recognition /

To wrap up the week, I'd like to pass along a fascinating article I read a few days ago in the latest print edition of Wired Magazine. Entitled 'What Caricatures Can Teach Us About Facial Recognition,' it begins with the valid observation that the science of surveillance system-based facial recognition rapidly gained in importance after

Automotive Vision: Eliminating Human Error From The Navigation Equation

Face Detection, Face Recognition /

In October 2009, on the way back from running a half marathon in San Jose, CA, I encountered a first-of-season snow storm on I80 just east of the highway 20 interchange (an area known as Yuba Gap, for folks familiar with the region). Although the posted speed limit was 65 mph, given the conditions I'd

Motion Capture: Embedded Vision Advancements Make It Beefier And Faster

Uncategorized /

I still remember my first SIGGRAPH, in 1999. At it, I auditioned my first motion capture system, and at first I admittedly wasn't very impressed. After all, the model employed in the demo was clad in a somewhat silly looking skin-tight outfit, complete with what looked like dozens of cotton balls attached at various points

Augmented Reality: Qualcomm’s SDK Update Tells An Intriguing Silicon- And Software-Agnostic Story

Augmented Reality /

My first exposure to augmented reality (aside from occasional demos at past SIGGRAPHs), or so I thought until earlier this morning, was when I tried out a Nintendo 3DS portable gaming console a few months back in advance of tearing it down (along with iFixit's Kyle Wiens) in front of a live crowd at the
