Robot Soldiers: Hampered By Their Imagers

Robotics /

As anyone who's followed the U.S. military's engagements in countries such as Afghanistan, Iraq, and Pakistan already knows, this country's armed forces are increasingly relying on robotic alternatives to human warriors; tread-equipped Roomba and Scooba siblings to disarm bombs, for example, or propeller- and wing-equipped drone alternatives to fighter jets for both surveillance and bomb-delivering […]

Augmented Reality: Applications Strive For Meaningful Applicability

Augmented Reality /

As you may recall, I devoted the week-ago news writeup to the topic of augmented reality. How appropriate it seemed, therefore, to open up yesterday's USA Today and find the every-Monday Digital Traveler column focused on the topic of AR this week. The writeup headline, however, foreshadows the lukewarm critique that follows it; 'Augmented reality

Facial Recognition: Is Caricature The Key To Accurate Cognition?

Face Detection, Face Recognition /

To wrap up the week, I'd like to pass along a fascinating article I read a few days ago in the latest print edition of Wired Magazine. Entitled 'What Caricatures Can Teach Us About Facial Recognition,' it begins with the valid observation that the science of surveillance system-based facial recognition rapidly gained in importance after

Automotive Vision: Eliminating Human Error From The Navigation Equation

Face Detection, Face Recognition /

In October 2009, on the way back from running a half marathon in San Jose, CA, I encountered a first-of-season snow storm on I80 just east of the highway 20 interchange (an area known as Yuba Gap, for folks familiar with the region). Although the posted speed limit was 65 mph, given the conditions I'd

Motion Capture: Embedded Vision Advancements Make It Beefier And Faster

Uncategorized /

I still remember my first SIGGRAPH, in 1999. At it, I auditioned my first motion capture system, and at first I admittedly wasn't very impressed. After all, the model employed in the demo was clad in a somewhat silly looking skin-tight outfit, complete with what looked like dozens of cotton balls attached at various points

Augmented Reality: Qualcomm’s SDK Update Tells An Intriguing Silicon- And Software-Agnostic Story

Augmented Reality /

My first exposure to augmented reality (aside from occasional demos at past SIGGRAPHs), or so I thought until earlier this morning, was when I tried out a Nintendo 3DS portable gaming console a few months back in advance of tearing it down (along with iFixit's Kyle Wiens) in front of a live crowd at the

Facial Detection On Sony’s PlayStation Move And Apple’s iOS 5: Embedded Vision Continues To Thrive

Face Detection, Face Recognition, Gesture Control /

If you're a software coder interested in doing embedded vision development, you're unfortunately (as mentioned last Friday) not going to be able to use the official Kinect SDK unless you target Windows 7 (and only Windows 7). Granted, you've got other options; if Kinect is your target hardware foundation, there's always the open-source community to
