YouTube’s Face Detection-Based Blurring: Digital Protection From Those Intent On Harming

Face Detection, Face Recognition, Privacy /

As the daily news reports unfortunately make regularly clear, existing among us are no shortage of sick and twisted individuals who prey on children they find via (among other avenues) published images. And those same news reports document scores of situations in which captured still photos and video footage have been used by oppressive regimes […]

Samsung And Google’s Galaxy Nexus: A Facial Recognition Work In Progress

Face Detection, Face Recognition /

I've discussed several times, in past news writeups, the facial recognition-based unlock capabilities built into Google's Android 4.0 "Ice Cream Sandwich". Reading others' reviews gives only a secondhand perspective on a technology or product; a personal hands-on analysis is the preferable approach. So it was that I recently was able to borrow a Google-branded, Samsung-developed

Face.com’s Acquisition: Good For Facebook, Not So Much For Broader Facial Recognition Industry Ambitions

Face Detection, Face Recognition /

Back in mid-April, I devoted a news writeup to the latest developments at facial recognition algorithm developer Face.com, focusing in particular on the API that the company provided for third-party developer leverage, often free of charge. Those bountiful-technology days, unfortunately, have come and gone. A month ago, Facebook decided to acquire Face.com for an unannounced

Circular Traffic Sign Recognition on a 500 MHz Texas Instruments DM6437 EVM Board (Chinese Language Soundtrack)

Algorithms, Automotive, Object Tracking, Processors, Texas Instruments, Videos /

Traffic sign recognition is one of emerging capabilities of advanced driver assistance and safety systems. In this demonstration, images captured by a 30 fps color camera are fed to algorithms running on a DM6437 EVM board and analyzed to detect circular traffic signs. When red circles are detected, they are further analyzed and classified within

Quadrotors And Other Drones: Gesture Interfaces Send Them Off And Bring Them Home

Gesture Control /

The July issue of Wired Magazine, which I received in the mail just the other day, contains an excellent cover story which I commend to your attention. Entitled "How I Accidentally Kickstarted the Domestic Drone Boom," it's written by publication Editor-in-Chief Chris Anderson and discusses (in Anderson's usual humble fashion…ahem…) the flourishing interest in autonomous

CEVA And eyeSight: A Silicon-Plus-Software Gesture Interface Combination Done Right

Gesture Control /

Back in late November, I reported that gesture interface middleware developer eyeSight had received a notable funding injection from processor core provider CEVA. More recently, you learned that the companies are co-presenting at an upcoming webcast…which is tomorrow, in fact, so don't forget to register and attend! The two are obviously quite tight. So it

The Next-Generation Microsoft Kinect: Inching Ever Closer To Perfect?

Face Detection, Face Recognition, Gesture Control /

Last November, rumors began circulating in cyberspace regarding the next-generation Microsoft Kinect peripheral…that it would be, for example, accurate enough to read the lips of people sitting in front of it, along with delivering improved motion tracking and voice recognition (the latter by virtue of the camera peripheral's integrated microphone array), and being "able to

Samsung’s Galaxy S III: A Smartphone That Takes Embedded Vision Seriously

Gesture Control /

Back in early May, I dedicated a news writeup to Samsung's just-announced and latest-generation Galaxy S III smartphone, by virtue of its abundance of embedded vision talents. Since it's based on the Android v4 O/S, it automatically supports Google's facial recognition unlock scheme (which Samsung has augmented by requiring you to not only stare into

TI And Biometrics: A DSP Development Kit Purports To Make Implementation A Breeze

Biometrics /

Speaking of Texas Instruments, a few weeks ago the company introduced its new TMS320C6748 DSP Development Kit, which is intended to support real-time video analytics (specifically biometrics, for access control) applications such as fingerprint identification and face detection-and-recognition. From the press release: The C6748 DSP development kit comes pre-loaded with TI's new C6748 SYS/BIOS Software
