The Next-Generation Microsoft Kinect: Inching Ever Closer To Perfect?

Face Detection, Face Recognition, Gesture Control /

Last November, rumors began circulating in cyberspace regarding the next-generation Microsoft Kinect peripheral…that it would be, for example, accurate enough to read the lips of people sitting in front of it, along with delivering improved motion tracking and voice recognition (the latter by virtue of the camera peripheral's integrated microphone array), and being "able to […]

Samsung’s Galaxy S III: A Smartphone That Takes Embedded Vision Seriously

Gesture Control /

Back in early May, I dedicated a news writeup to Samsung's just-announced and latest-generation Galaxy S III smartphone, by virtue of its abundance of embedded vision talents. Since it's based on the Android v4 O/S, it automatically supports Google's facial recognition unlock scheme (which Samsung has augmented by requiring you to not only stare into

TI And Biometrics: A DSP Development Kit Purports To Make Implementation A Breeze

Biometrics /

Speaking of Texas Instruments, a few weeks ago the company introduced its new TMS320C6748 DSP Development Kit, which is intended to support real-time video analytics (specifically biometrics, for access control) applications such as fingerprint identification and face detection-and-recognition. From the press release: The C6748 DSP development kit comes pre-loaded with TI's new C6748 SYS/BIOS Software

Making Commercials More Engaging: Embedded Vision’s Trying

Gesture Control, Information Access and Analytics /

Some of you may have been already following the recent spat of back-and-forth lawsuits between DISH Networks and a group of broadcasters. In brief, at January's CES (Consumer Electronics Show), DISH introduced a PVR (personal video recorder, also sometimes called a DVR aka digitial video recorder) called Hopper, which simultaneously recorded up to six programs

From Lipstick to Security: Facial Recognition Without High-Resolution Complexity

Face Detection, Face Recognition /

Speaking of face-related embedded vision topics…a month back, I told you how smartphone-based software was being used to make makeup suggestions. And ten months ago (for example), I told you about revolutionary techniques being employed to improve face recognition accuracy. Do you think I can link these two themes? Of course I can…with a little

Face Detection For Obscenity Prevention

Face Detection, Face Recognition /

Another day, another facial recognition-fueled controversy…although strictly speaking, this one involves less-complex face detection, not age, race, gender or specific-identity recognition…at least not yet, that is. The more "wired" among you may recall a short-lived (but technically still alive) Internet craze called Chatroulette. Via the aptly-named website, you were randomly connected with someone else on

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
