Embedded Vision Insights: February 16, 2012 Edition

Dear Colleague, Shortly after declaring bankruptcy on January 19th, longstanding photography pioneer Eastman Kodak announced last week that it was winding down its digital imaging product line this year, focusing going forward on patent licenses, printers, enterprise services, photo labs and (ironically) disposable silver halide film-based cameras. Yet, as anyone who uses online services such […]

Embedded Vision Evaluates YOUR Vision

Another day, another personal health-themed news post. Thanks to coverage I saw in GigaOm, I'm able to tell you about Netra, a several-dollar cameraphone add-on originally developed at MIT that diagnoses nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism. As Kevin Tofel's writeup explains, "The Netra clips to a phone and users tap buttons on the touchscreen display until

Thermal Imaging: Slow Acquisition Speeds, But A Fiscal Bargain

To date, the bulk of embedded vision applications I've written about have focused their spectral attention on visible light frequencies, predominantly because they employ the same conventional image sensors found in digital still and video cameras, webcams, smartphones and tablets, computers and displays, and the like. However, plenty of embedded vision functions also exist that

Analyzing Twins: A Challenging Data Set For Facial Recognition Algorithms

Back in mid-August, I mentioned the Twin Days Festival held each year in Twinburg, Ohio, and (perhaps not surprising to you at this point) attended by identical twins around the world. Researchers from the University of Notre Dame also regularly attend the Twin Days Festival, capturing images of those identical twins and using those photographs

Increased Processor Power Will Push Analytics to the Edge

By Jon Cropley Principal Analyst IMS Research Video content analysis (VCA) software can be run on standard off-the-shelf computers or embedded in video surveillance devices such as network cameras and encoders. In server-based solutions, the analysis is usually done centrally with the full video stream sent across the network. In embedded solutions, the VCA software
