Embedded Vision Insights: January 14, 2014 Edition

Dear Colleague,

Happy 2014! And welcome back from the holidays, hopefully well rested and ready to tackle all kinds of embedded vision opportunities in the new year. While you've been away, the Alliance has remained busy creating and publishing additional material. Specifically, since the last edition of Embedded Vision Insights went out four weeks ago, eight new videos have appeared on the Alliance website, along with 19 new press releases and two new market analysis reports.

Content highlights include additional tutorials and demonstrations from the October 2013 Embedded Vision Summit East, and the first of several presentations (plus a demonstration) from the December 2013 Alliance Member Meeting. Also make sure you check out a two-demonstration video series from Goksel Dedeoglu, Manager of Embedded Vision R&D at Texas Instruments, on stereo vision for depth perception and Lucas-Kanade feature tracking. See, too, a presentation on the new Camera 3 framework in Android 4.4 "KitKat" from Aptina's Balwinder Kaur, Software Architect for Emerging Technologies. And don't overlook the blizzard of technology and product news from Alliance member companies at last week's Consumer Electronics Show.

Speaking of the Embedded Vision Summit, I also want to remind you of the next Summit, to be held in Santa Clara, California on May 29. The Embedded Vision Summit West, a technical educational forum for engineers interested in incorporating visual intelligence into electronic systems and software, will be co-located with the Augmented World Expo. Summit attendees will have the option of also attending the full Augmented World Expo conference or accessing the Augmented World Expo exhibit floor at a discounted price. And preceding the Embedded Vision Summit, on Wednesday, May 28, Embedded Vision Alliance member companies will present workshops exploring hardware and software for embedded vision product development. Please revisit the event overview page in the coming weeks for more information, such as detailed agendas, keynote, technical tutorial and other presentation details, speaker biographies, and online registration.

Thanks as always for your support of the Embedded Vision Alliance, and for your interest in and contributions to embedded vision technologies, products and applications. And please don't hesitate to let me know how the Alliance can better service your needs.

Thermal Camera Shipments Heat Up As Prices Melt
The uncooled thermal security camera market is forecast see high unit shipment growth of 25% over the next 5 years, close to twice the rate of the CCTV and video surveillance market. This high unit growth is being caused by steep declines in average selling prices, which means thermal cameras are more appealing to the commercial security sector. More
