BDTI Senior Engineers Eric Gregori and Shehrzad Qureshi deliver a techology trends presentation on image sensors for embedded vision applications, at the late-March 2012 Embedded Vision Alliance Summit. Eric and Shehrzad discuss trends regarding conventional 2-D image sensors, as well as those supporting "3-D" (depth discernment) and "4-D" (i.e. selective focus, otherwise known as light […]
Dear Colleague, Microsoft's Kinect peripheral for the Xbox 360 game console and Windows 7-based PCs singlehandedly brought awareness of vision-based applications such as gesture interfaces and facial recognition to the masses. It's also the embedded vision foundation for a plethora of other system implementations, either based on Microsoft's O/S and thereby leveraging the official Kinect

Dear Colleague, I've got Israel on the brain of late, it seems. And it's not just because the 40 days of Lent wrapped up a few weeks ago with Easter (roughly coincident with Passover for my Jewish friends and associates). It's because Israel has become a particular hotbed of embedded vision technology and product innovation.

By Paula Carrillo, Akira Osamoto, and Adithya K. Banninthaya Texas Instruments Accurate skin-tone reproduction is important in conventional still and video photography applications, but it's also critical in some embedded vision implementations; for accurate facial detection and recognition, for example. And intermediary lossy compression between the camera and processing circuitry is common in configurations that

By Sateesh Reddy Jonnalagada and Vamsi Krishna Xilinx Corporation Embedded vision applications deal with a lot of data; a single 1080p60 (1920×1080 pixel per frame, 60 frames per second) 24-bit color video stream requires nearly 3 Gbps of bandwidth, and 8-bit alpha (transparency) or 3-D depth data further amplifies the payload by 33% in each
