A bit more than a year ago, in one of my first news writeups on this site, I gave my upbeat hands-on assessment of a pulse-monitoring application called Azumio. The program leverages the built-in image sensor and LED illumination resources of modern smartphones and tablets. After you press your finger against both of them, Azumio […]

Google's various efforts in the embedded vision space have caught my news-coverage attention many times in the past. There have been, for example, a series of postings related to the imperfect but still notable first stab at facial recognition in Android v4.0 "Ice Cream Sandwich," whose technology likely comes at least in part from the
A week ahead of the Embedded Vision Summit, which is a month from now (so register now!), Embedded Vision Alliance Founder Jeff Bier and BDTI senior software engineer Eric Gregori are partnering with Design News Magazine to deliver "Fundamentals of Embedded Computer Vision: Creating Machines That See", a free five-part embedded vision tutorial series September
As I've mentioned several times before, the burgeoning assortment of embedded vision applications now available for smartphones and tablets—augmented reality, for example, or optical character recognition, or health monitoring, or facial recognition, or gesture interface control—come courtesy of the front- and rear-mounted cameras now common on both hardware platforms. But these emerging applications still aren't

Brian Dipert, Editor-In-Chief of the Embedded Vision Alliance, interviews John Morse, Senior Market Analyst at IMS Research, on August 13, 2012. In this third video of a planned series with various IMS Research analysts, Brian and John discuss the various applications for embedded vision in machine vision applications, feature set evolutions for the cameras that

OpenCL is an emerging SDK (software development kit) that targets the problem of developing on heterogeneous multi-core platforms. Previously confined purely to the world of GPGPU (general-purpose computing on graphics processor units), it has recently also achieved acceptance on other hardware platforms, including fixed-function accelerators and even FPGAs. In this talk at the July 2012
The upcoming Embedded Vision Summit isn't the only conference coming up next month that'll showcase an abundance of embedded vision content. Embedded Vision Alliance Platinum member IMS Research will be delivering the European edition of the Touch Gesture Motion Conference September 12-13 in London. Vision-based gesture- and motion-related technologies will be particularly showcased on day
The Embedded Vision Summit is coming up soon. It's September 19, to be exact, at the Hynes Convention Center in Boston, Massachusetts, in conjunction with DESIGN East. The Summit, organized by the Embedded Vision Alliance, will provide a unique opportunity for engineers to learn about embedded vision, the hottest technology in the electronics industry, enabling
