Dear Colleague, I'm admittedly feeling pretty good right now. That's because I've just reviewed the attendee feedback from the late-March Embedded Vision Alliance Summit, and the strong ratings and positive supporting comments combine to confirm my gut feel that it was an extremely valuable event for Alliance members and press-and-analyst attendees alike. To the latter […]

Converting images from one color domain to another is a common and often misunderstood operation in embedded vision processing. Image formats and color spaces vary when information is interchanged among processing domains. FPGAs provide a flexible, fast and scalable way of converting images using readily available IP cores. This video tutorial from José Alvarez, Video

An excerpt of it is reprinted here with the permission of Digi-Key. Embedded vision, the evolution and extrapolation of computer-based vision systems that process and interpret meaning from still and video images, is poised to be
Dear Colleague, In the previous newsletter, I told you about embedded vision-related developments coming out of the Mobile World Congress show in Barcelona, Spain. Since then, two additional notable conferences have come and gone, both including plenty of embedded vision news of their own. CeBIT took place from March 6-10 in Hannover, Germany, while the
