Microsoft Kinect For Windows 2.0: Developer Registration Is A “Go”

For those of you who haven't already heard, Microsoft unveiled its next-generation Xbox One game console in late May, containing a bundled next-generation "Kinect 2.0" peripheral. Whereas the first-generation Kinect employs a structured light approach to 3-D sensing, "Kinect 2.0" leverages a time-of-flight technique courtesy of Microsoft's 2010 acquisition of Canesta. The included image sensor

Android 4.2: Still “Jelly Bean”, But A Beefier Panorama Mode And Other Features For You

Google didn't evolve the project name when incrementing from Android 4.1 (introduced in late June) to the more recent and latest 4.2 release. However, the newest "Jelly Bean" version makes several notable imaging improvements that will be of interest to embedded vision application developers. First off is Photo Sphere, an enhanced version of the traditional

ID’ing The Intoxicated: Embedded Vision Picks Out The Inebriated

Speaking of infrared imaging…researchers Georgia Koukiou and Vassilis Anastassopoulos of the University of Patras in Greece recently published (in the International Journal of Electronic Security and Digital Forensics) the results of a study of 20 volunteers to test sobriety (or not) by means of computer algorithms. By doing infrared scans of the volunteers' faces both
