Nokia’s Windows Phone-Based Handsets: The Optics Make The Difference

Uncategorized /

Having recently discussed the embedded vision applicability of latest-generation smartphones based both on Apple's iOS (the iPhone 4S) and Google's Android (the Samsung Galaxy Nexus), it's appropriate to also give Microsoft's Windows Phone (formerly Windows Mobile, all based on Windows CE) O/S a turn in the spotlight. Latest version 7.5, aka "Mango", is now shipping […]

Kinect For Kids: Microsoft Partners with Sesame Street, National Geographic And Dis(ney)

Face Detection, Face Recognition, Gesture Control /

Two weeks back, I discussed how Microsoft was "maturing" the Xbox 360 Kinect experience by integrating support for the peripheral in an increasing number of new games, including adult-tailored titles such as Forza Motorsport 4. More recently, Microsoft took the broadening aspiration in the other direction, partnering with three other companies to create content targeting

Embedded Vision And Android 4: More Features Galore

Face Detection, Face Recognition /

After delaying the introduction of "Ice Cream Sandwich" one week out of respect for Steve Jobs' passing, as well as relocating the event from San Diego to Hong Kong, Google unveiled Android 4.0 last night in conjunction with showcasing its premier hardware implementation, the Samsung-designed Galaxy Nexus. Ironically, considering that just a week ago I

Information Access and Analytics /

As my end-of-August technical article "Selecting and Designing with an Image Sensor: The Tradeoffs You'll Need to Master" points out, the burgeoning pixel counts of modern sensors are beginning to outstrip the resolution requirements of most camera and cameraphone users, particularly if the digital zoom feature isn't heavily employed, the images aren't substantially cropped, and/or

Watching Clouds Drift By…And Taking XKCD Way Too Seriously

Uncategorized /

Here's a light-hearted piece to close out the week. Back in late August, I showcased a vision-themed web comic that described one observer's attempt to gain an enhanced depth-perception sense of the clouds overhead by simultaneously video-capturing them from two cameras hundreds of feet apart, then feeding the output of each camera to one eye

Embedded Vision: Primed To Take A Bite Out Of Crime

Face Detection, Face Recognition, Information Access and Analytics /

As I've mentioned with past regularity, video surveillance and analytics technology is increasingly being used by law enforcement agencies worldwide to assist in the identification and prosecution of wrongdoers; via facial recognition, for example, or emotion discernment, or database searches for clothing matches, or license plate optical character recognition. And other, not-yet-discussed implementations of the

User Identification And Response: Early Indications Of A Renaissance

Face Detection, Face Recognition /

Speaking of Kinect…considering the prevalence of cameras now built into smartphones, tablets, and the bezels of laptops, all-in-one desktops and standalone computer displays, I've long waited for software developers to harness the hardware potential in identifying and reacting to who's currently in front of the image sensor. For example, wouldn't it be cool if my
