Jeff Bier, Embedded Vision Alliance Founder, moderates a discussion panel comprised of the presenters in the "Embedded Vision Applications and Algorithms" technical session at the September 2012 Embedded Vision Summit; Mario Bergeron from Avnet, Simon Morris from CogniVue, and Bo Wu from Synopsys. The panelists discuss topics such as the ability to derive depth approximation information using only a 2D camera, price target metrics for varying-capability camera systems at varying volume points, the life cycle of a typical chip (and system based on that chip) development, camera interface evolution and standardization trends, the processing capabilities of Xilinx's Zynq Extensible Processing Platform ICs, and the characteristics (and sources) of test databases.
