When you see the acronym ADAS (advanced driver assistance systems), you may automatically think of conventional and frequently discussed embedded vision implementations such as: Adaptive cruise control Lane departure warning systems Collision avoidance systems Pedestrian protection systems Automatic parking Traffic sign recognition Blind spot detection, and Driver drowsiness detection However, a prototype system recently developed […]

A bit more than a year ago, in one of my first news writeups on this site, I gave my upbeat hands-on assessment of a pulse-monitoring application called Azumio. The program leverages the built-in image sensor and LED illumination resources of modern smartphones and tablets. After you press your finger against both of them, Azumio

A week ahead of the Embedded Vision Summit, which is a month from now (so register now!), Embedded Vision Alliance Founder Jeff Bier and BDTI senior software engineer Eric Gregori are partnering with Design News Magazine to deliver "Fundamentals of Embedded Computer Vision: Creating Machines That See", a free five-part embedded vision tutorial series September

As I've mentioned several times before, the burgeoning assortment of embedded vision applications now available for smartphones and tablets—augmented reality, for example, or optical character recognition, or health monitoring, or facial recognition, or gesture interface control—come courtesy of the front- and rear-mounted cameras now common on both hardware platforms. But these emerging applications still aren't

The upcoming Embedded Vision Summit isn't the only conference coming up next month that'll showcase an abundance of embedded vision content. Embedded Vision Alliance Platinum member IMS Research will be delivering the European edition of the Touch Gesture Motion Conference September 12-13 in London. Vision-based gesture- and motion-related technologies will be particularly showcased on day
