This past week was a notable one for the Embedded Vision Alliance. Jeff Bier and Eric Gregori represented the Alliance in three presentations at the Embedded Vision Alliance, one of them also showcasing demonstrations from Analog Devices, Texas Instruments and Xilinx. Wednesday was the Embedded Vision Summit, with more than 150 attendees and numerous excellent talks, including keynotes from MIT's Professor Rosalind Picard and the OpenCV Foundation's Gary Bradski. And Thursday morning was the quarterly Embedded Vision Alliance Member Summit, in which (among other things) IMS Research's Helena Perslow provided an informative market trends tutorial on ADAS (advanced driver assistance systems).
In the coming weeks, I'll be editing and publishing videos of all of the Embedded Vision Summit talks; keep an eye out for them at the Embedded Vision Academy. In advance, and regardless of whether or not you were able to personally attend the event, PDF versions of the various presentations are now available for download. Note that since this material is also located in the Embedded Vision Academy, you'll need to log into the site (or register, if you haven't already) before you can download the content.
Speaking of embedded vision and Boston, I also wanted to let you know about an organization called the Boston Image Processing and Computer Vision Group (BIPCVG). The group has two upcoming meetings that will undoubtedly be of interest to vision visionaries in the area; on October 24th at the Cambridge Innovation Center, and another on December 4th at Microsoft NERD (the New England Research & Development Center). Visit the group's Meetup page for more information, including RSVP opportunities.
