Embedded Vision Insights: November 12, 2013 Edition

Dear Colleague,

In the late October edition of Embedded Vision Insights, I wrote, "Additional content from the Embedded Vision Summit East is queuing up for publication in the coming days." At that point in time, we'd published five videos from the event. Two weeks later, as promised, we've published seven more: technical tutorials from Apical ("Better Image Understanding Through Better Sensor Understanding"), Synopsys ("Designing a Multi-Core Architecture Tailored for Pedestrian Detection Algorithms"), Texas Instruments ("Embedded Lucas-Kanade Tracking: How it Works, How to Implement It, and How to Use It") and VanGogh Imaging ("Using FPGAs to Accelerate 3D Vision Processing: A System Developer's View"), and technology and product demonstrations from Analog Devices, Apical and ARM.

I've also been plenty busy in the background reviewing additional material which, just as I said last time, is also queued up for publication in the coming days. The latest website content isn't solely sourced from the Embedded Vision Summit East, however. Check out, for example, the presentation delivered by BDTI Senior Software Engineer Eric Gregori at the recent Qualcomm UPLINQ Conference, on "Accelerating Computer Vision Applications with the Hexagon DSP." Check out IHS's just-published research note on video surveillance camera and analytics trends.  And check out the latest embedded vision news and press releases.

Enough to keep you busy for a while, staying current on embedded vision technology and product developments? I hope so! 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.

October 2013 Embedded Vision Alliance Member Meeting Keynote: Ori Inbar, AugmentedReality.org
Ori Inbar, Founder and CEO of AugmentedReality.org, delivers the keynote, "Augmented Reality Opportunities and Challenges: From Novelty to Productivity," at the October 2013 Embedded Vision Alliance Member Meeting. In this presentation, Ori explains how augmented reality (which relies heavily on embedded vision) is transitioning from a bleeding-edge technology embraced mainly by enthusiasts to a mainstream commercial technology with applications in diverse markets ranging from mobile devices to retail point-of-sale systems to enterprise and industrial systems.

April 2013 Embedded Vision Summit Technical Presentation: Gershom Kutliroff, Omek Interactive
Gershom Kutliroff, CTO and co-founder of Omek Interactive, presents the "Why 3D Sensors Are a Game-Changer for Embedded Vision" tutorial within the "Image Sensors and Front-End Image Processing" technical session at the April 2013 Embedded Vision Summit.

Video Moving into the Perimeter Security Segment
Video surveillance cameras and analytics continue to be pushed out toward the perimeter at a high rate and are becoming an integral part of electronic perimeter security solutions. According to a recent report published by IHS, the global market for intelligent devices in perimeter security applications is forecast to top $200 million in 2013. Historically, sensors have been the primary means of detection for perimeter security applications. In recent years, however, there has been a growing trend for cameras and analytics to be used in addition to sensors on a perimeter. The perimeter security industry has always been based on layers, so the addition of video only reinforces this ideology. More

Designing an Integrated Vision and Robotics Cell for Terminal Block Assembly with NI Vision Hardware and Software
Automatismi Brazzale, an established producer of assembly and packaging lines, asked ImagingLab to assemble the complete range of terminal blocks in a cell with only one configuration, which can be divided into six steps. ImagingLab installed five Mitsubishi SCARA RP-5AH robots around a rotating table, each positioned to perform a specific task that can change from model to model. The project specifications were challenging: 2,500 pieces per hour with a range of 40 different models, requiring a total of 32 different parts to handle and mount. ImagingLab installed six vision systems, one for each robot station plus one to inspect the housing block for quality. Every robot station had to handle different parts depending on the model in production. More
