Back in early March, I passed along the news of CogniMem's just-signed membership in the Embedded Vision Alliance. Later that same month, you learned that Analog Devices had upgraded its membership to the Platinum tier, as Texas Instruments had done in December. And in late April came word of another Alliance member, eyeSight Mobile Technologies. […]

We in the embedded vision industry live in amazing times, I'm regularly (and thankfully) reminded. Not a single day goes by lately that I'm not archiving an information tidbit (or, usually, multiple ones) for future consideration in a news writeup, an article, or a video interview. And the breakthroughs aren't just being covered by narrowly

Back in early April, I mentioned a facial recognition program called RecognizeMe, available for "jailbroken" Apple iOS-based hardware. I went ahead and dropped $2.99 on the program, then installed it on my fourth-generation iPod touch and two iPhone 4s (AT&T and Verizon); my first-generation iPad doesn't have a front-facing camera and is therefore not a

Samsung's new webcam-implemented, function-augmented televisions may be controversial from a privacy standpoint, and may be sluggish and otherwise underwhelming on their operation. But the company sure seems to know how to promote them, as the above commercial suggests. 😉 Thanks to GigaOM for the heads-up. And a happy upcoming Memorial Day weekend to my Stateside

I've mentioned embedded vision coverage in various IEEE publications before, most notably in IEEE Spectrum but also in some of the more technical journals. I'm impressed with, and inspired by, the Society's obvious enthusiasm for this burgeoning technology, and the IEEE has been particularly prolific the past several months. The April 2012 issue of IEEE
