Electronic Goal-And-Strike Detectors: Eliminating Sports’ Biased Human Factors

Uncategorized /

A writeup I saw a few days ago at Ars Technica admittedly left me feeling not particularly fine about our species. Titled "Umpires show ethnic bias in ball/strike calls—unless they're feeling watched", its subject matter is perhaps already obvious…focusing on Major League Baseball, it summarized a recently published research paper which concluded that "In its […]

Embedded Vision Gets “Ayes” For Eyes: Empowering the Disenfranchised

Biometrics /

My previous writeup, which discussed the emotion-and-other discernment powers of latest-generation embedded vision setups, may have raised privacy-concern red flags in some of your psyches. If that was the case, this piece will hopefully provide a counterbalancing perspective. A wonderful article from the New York Times, which I first read in print and subsequently found

Emotions In Motion: Sentiment Discernment Comes to Embedded Vision

Face Detection, Face Recognition /

I suspect that at least some of you are also subscribers to BDTI's InsideDSP monthly email newsletter and, as such, may have already seen the editorial in yesterday's edition from company president (and Embedded Vision Alliance founder) Jeff Bier. The title, 'I Know How You Feel,' is a clever teaser to the subject matter inside;

Networked Camera Phones: Traffic Timing Awareness Makes Good Gas Mileage Sense

Automotive /

In my 14+ years as a technology analyst and journalist, I'm not sure that I've ever referenced MIT News before, far from twice within two weeks. Yet an innovation reported in the online journal late last month justifies the repeat attention. As those of you who own one already know, smartphones (along with an increasing

Algorithms, Arm, Articles, Processors, Software, Technical Articles /

By Michael Tusch Founder and CEO Apical Limited Camera designers have decades of experience in creating image processing pipelines which produce attractive and/or visually accurate images, but what kind of image processing produces video which is well-purposed for subsequent analytics? It seems reasonable to begin by considering a conventional ISP (image signal processor). After all,

An Image Sensor Connect-The-Dots: Rolling Shutters And Other Thoughts

Sensors and Cameras /

I'm currently working on a technical article on image sensors, which is out for review in first-draft form. Perhaps obviously, one key focus area deals with the respective strengths and shortcomings of CCDs and CMOS sensors. CCDs implement a 'global shutter' function, wherein all pixels's photodiodes and other associated circuitry terminate photon accumulation at the

Earlier this month, I pointed out several advancements in motion capture technology that had been made at the in-progress SIGGRAPH conference. Today, with thanks to Slashdot for the heads-up, I'll pass along another SIGGRAPH-delivered announcement, this one in the surface visualization technology space. From MIT News on August 9: Traditionally, generating micrometer-scale images has required
