Wellingborough, UK – 2nd December 2011. The transition from analogue video surveillance equipment to network video surveillance equipment is forecast to drive growth of over 7% for the mobile video surveillance equipment market in trains and trams, over the next five years. This is just one of the findings from IMS Research’s latest report on […]

Here's an odd one. While I've previously discussed the importance of robust imaging assemblies in military systems, my historical focus has been on drone aircraft, robots and autonomous vehicles. However, imaging is (perhaps obviously) a front-and-center function of satellites, both in terms of still and video image capture and subsequent analysis (in orbit and on

By Michael Tusch Founder and CEO Apical Limited This article will expand on the theme initiated in the premier article of this series, that of exploring how the pixel processing performed in cameras can either enhance or hinder the performance of embedded vision algorithms. Achieving natural or otherwise aesthetically pleasing camera images is normally considered
By Brian Dipert Editor-In-Chief Embedded Vision Alliance Senior Analyst BDTI A diversity of image sensor options are available for your consideration, differentiated both in terms of their fundamental semiconductor process foundations and of their circuit (and filter, microlens and other supplement) implementations. Understanding their respective strengths and shortcomings is critical to making an appropriate product

Remember about two months ago, when I admittedly somewhat critically discussed the VideoSurf camera phone application that enabled the identification of video content currently being displayed on a television or computer monitor? Apparently, Microsoft was more enthusiastic about the technology than I was, because a few days ago the company reportedly acquired VideoSurf for $70
