If you've been following Xilinx's content contributions to the Embedded Vision Alliance website, you know that the company views its Xynq-7000 Extensible Processing Platform SoCs containing ARM Cortex-A9 processor cores as ideal embedded vision processing "engines". Next Wednesday September 5 at 1PM ET (10AM PT), you'll have the opportunity to learn more about the Zynq […]
By Brian Dipert Editor-In-Chief Embedded Vision Alliance Senior Analyst BDTI Hopefully by now you've had the opportunity to audition the keynote delivered by Gary Bradski, President and CEO of the OpenCV Foundation and Founder and CTO at Industrial Perception, at last month's Embedded Vision Alliance Member Summit. Bradski will also be the afternoon keynoter at

Samsung's "smart" televisions have received ongoing coverage here at the news section of the Embedded Vision Alliance website, since their unveiling at January's Consumer Electronics Show. Although I thought they'd gone into production earlier this year, the Wall Street Journal's AllThingsD chief, Walt Mossberg, recently tried out the top-end $2,000 (after rebate) 46" ES8000 model…and

Not to take anything away from Nintendo, who created a game console user interface mainstream breakthrough with the Wii Remote, but the company's products to at least some degree stood on the shoulders of forebears. As evidence, check out the above video, which The Verge published earlier this month. The system is called Frox, and

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

Google's various efforts in the embedded vision space have caught my news-coverage attention many times in the past. There have been, for example, a series of postings related to the imperfect but still notable first stab at facial recognition in Android v4.0 "Ice Cream Sandwich," whose technology likely comes at least in part from the
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
