Dear Colleague,
Welcome to 2015! I hope you had a relaxing and rejuvenating
holiday time off, and I wish you the best both personally and
professionally in the year ahead.
My colleagues and I have just returned from the Consumer
Electronics Show in Las Vegas, where we found a record number of new
vision-enabled products. I recorded nearly twenty interviews and
product demonstrations, which will appear on the Alliance website in
the coming weeks. In the meantime, check out the numerous
recent press releases from Alliance members published on the
website, spanning a diversity of applications and technology and
product breakthroughs. See below for some
CES announcement examples.
And speaking of conferences, make sure you also check out the
newly published Embedded
Vision Summit “microsite”. The Summit, a technical educational
forum for engineers interested in incorporating visual intelligence
into electronic systems and software, takes place on May 12, 2015 in
Santa Clara, California, bracketed by in-depth technical workshops on
May 11 and May 13. Event information, including online
registration. is now available. Sign up
today while the “early bird” discount rate is still available!
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. Whenever you have an idea as
to how the Alliance can better service your needs, you know where to find me.

“AdasWorks Automated Driving
Demonstration,” a Technology Showcase from Kishonti
Developed by AdasWorks, the computer
vision research project of Kishonti and ThyssenKrupp Presta Hungary, the
AdasWorks Automated Driving solution relies only on vision-based
information processed from one front-facing camera, without using any
prerecorded 3D laser scan maps. The intelligence is provided by a small
electronic control unit consisting of a high-performance Nvidia Tegra
K1 application processor running AdasWorks software and a watchdog
safety system by ThyssenKrupp Presta Hungary. AdasWorks is a software
toolkit that fuses multiple car sensors, GPS and map data with computer
vision to create advanced and cost-effective driver assistance and
semi-autonomous systems for next-generation application processors.
“Harnessing Embedded Vision for Defense and Transportation
Systems,” an
Embedded VIsion Alliance Member Meeting Presentation from Mel Spiese of
Cubic
Mel Spiese, Vice President of Training
Strategy and Effectiveness at Cubic, delivers the presentation
“Harnessing Embedded Vision for Defense and Transportation Systems” at
the September 2014 Embedded Vision Alliance Member Meeting. Mel
discusses why the company has placed high priority on accelerating its
use of vision technology.

Vision in Wearable Devices: Enhanced and Expanded
Application and Function Choices
Thanks to the emergence of increasingly
capable and cost-effective processors, image sensors, memories and
other semiconductor devices, along with robust algorithms, it’s now
practical to incorporate computer vision into a wide range of systems,
enabling those systems to analyze their environments via video and
still image inputs. Wearable devices are forecast to be a significant
influencer of semiconductor and software development, and a dominant
driver of industry sales and profits, in the coming years. Adding
vision-processing capabilities to wearable systems not only
cost-effectively enhances the capabilities of existing product
categories, it also fundamentally enables new categories. More
Consumer Video Surveillance Equipment in the Smart Home
The consumer and DIY video surveillance
equipment market includes all equipment sold through in-store and
online retail channels. In 2014, the global market size topped $1
billion USD for the first time with the US accounting for almost 65% of
total revenue. The world market is still fairly evenly split between
analog and network technologies. A large portion of end-users still
choose to protect their homes or small businesses by purchasing an
analog video surveillance bundle consisting of cameras and a DVR
purchased from a retailer. Now, high resolution alternatives utilizing
HD TVI, HD CVI and AHD technologies are becoming available, offering up
to full 1080p resolution. These will prove very popular in the consumer
market. More
