LETTER FROM THE EDITOR Dear Colleague, The Embedded Vision Summit is the most important industry event for innovators developing and deploying products using computer vision. Next year’s Summit will take place May 1-3, 2017 in Santa Clara, California. We are assembling the presentation program and have a limited number of presentation opportunities. We are looking […]

FEATURED VIDEOS "Implementing Eye Tracking for Medical, Automotive and Headset Applications," a Presentation from Xilinx and EyeTech Digital Systems When humans communicate with each other, we get important cues from watching each other’s eyes. Similarly, machines can gain valuable information and new capabilities by detecting and tracking users’ gazes. Robust eye tracking was once limited

FEATURED VIDEOS "Low-power Embedded Vision: A Face Tracker Case Study," a Presentation from Synopsys The ability to reliably detect and track individual objects or people has numerous applications, for example in the video-surveillance and home entertainment fields. While this has proven to be a challenging problem, recent years have brought higher performance solutions such as

FEATURED VIDEOS "Using Vision to Enable Autonomous Land, Sea and Air Vehicles," a Keynote Presentation from NASA JPL Say you’re an autonomous rover and you’ve just landed on Mars. Vexing questions now confront you: “Where am I and how am I moving?” “What obstacles are around me?” “Are the obstacles moving?” “What other objects are

LETTER FROM THE EDITOR Dear Colleague, In the coming months, Embedded Vision Alliance member companies VeriSilicon and Xilinx will deliver several free, hour-long webinars on various computer vision topics, in partnership with the Alliance. On October 19 at 10 am Pacific Time, VeriSilicon will present "Learning at the Speed of Sight," which discusses how the

LETTER FROM THE EDITOR Dear Colleague, Next Thursday, September 22 from 9 am to 5 pm, the primary Caffe developers from U.C. Berkeley's Vision and Learning Center will present "Deep Learning for Vision Using CNNs and Caffe," a full-day detailed technical tutorial focused on convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for vision and the Caffe framework for

FEATURED VIDEOS "Tailoring Convolutional Neural Networks for Low-Cost, Low-Power Implementation," a Presentation from Synopsys Deep learning-based object detection using convolutional neural networks (CNN) has recently emerged as one of the leading approaches for achieving state-of-the-art detection accuracy for a wide range of object classes. Most of the current CNN-based detection algorithm implementations run on high-performance

FEATURED VIDEOS "3D from 2D: Theory, Implementation, and Applications of Structure from Motion," a Presentation from videantis Structure from motion uses a unique combination of algorithms that extract depth information using a single 2D moving camera. Using a calibrated camera, feature detection, and feature tracking, the algorithms calculate an accurate camera pose and a 3D

FEATURED VIDEOS Combining Flexibility and Low-Power in Embedded Vision Subsystems: An Application to Pedestrian Detection Bruno Lavigueur, Embedded Vision Subsystem Project Leader at Synopsys, presents a case study of a pedestrian detection application. Starting from a high-level functional description in OpenCV, he decomposes and maps the application onto a heterogeneous platform consisting of a high-performance

FEATURED VIDEOS "Large-Scale Deep Learning for Building Intelligent Computer Systems," a Keynote Presentation from Google Jeff Dean, Senior Fellow at Google, presents the keynote talk, "Large-Scale Deep Learning for Building Intelligent Computer Systems," at the May 2016 Embedded Vision Summit. Over the past few years, Google has built two generations of large-scale computer systems for
