One of the to-date reliable observations which guides my professional life is that a technology has "made it" when O'Reilly Media decides to cover it. Not that any of us in the embedded vision industry had any doubts until now, mind you, but it's time to extend congratulations to the concept of hacking the Microsoft […]

by Dong-Ik Ko and Gaurav Agarwal Texas Instruments This article was originally published in the December 2011 issue of Embedded Systems Programming. Gesture recognition is the first step to fully 3D interaction with computing devices. The authors outline the challenges and techniques to overcome them in embedded systems. As touchscreen technologies become more pervasive, users

Two days from now, the PC-tailored and "close view"-supportive variant of Microsoft's Kinect will reportedly be available for sale. I've suspected ever since hearing the initial news of Microsoft's PC aspirations that the company's plans included not only a USB-tethered peripheral for existing systems but also a bezel-embedded Kinect version licensed to computer OEMs for

Sometimes, I confess, I get a little jaded about technology…when it seems that all of the fundamental problems have been solved, and that we're all just waiting on Moore's Law semiconductor trends to enable the algorithm-implementation ICs to be sufficiently cost-effective, low-energy-consumptive, etc to enable broad market adoption. Sometimes…but then a news item drops into

Two weeks ago, when I first wrote about Microsoft's upcoming Kinect for Windows, I wondered how substantially it'd differ from the Xbox 360-intended model, and whether the changes would reflect evolution in software, hardware or both. Shortly-thereafter coverage in Wired indicated: The Kinect for Windows unit also offers a modified USB connector and better protection

Machine vision is a branch of computer vision which is used in industries for the analysis of objects by capturing images and performing real time analysis. Major machine vision applications exist in quality control for the semiconductor industry and consumer products industry. Vision system controllers, smart cameras and frame grabbers capture live images and helps
